Summary

Plushcap here! Rapid7's AppSpider integrates with Sauce Labs' Selenium to enable development teams to incorporate security testing earlier in the software development lifecycle. This partnership allows developers and security teams to form an effective partnership by creating test scripts for application functionality and adding security auditing. The integration automates security testing, making it easier and less expensive to find and fix security defects early on, before they are replicated across the application. With AppSpider, security teams can leverage combined Selenium scripts with their security tests, reporting security defects alongside functional testing defects, streamlining defect reporting, and speeding up development by avoiding late-stage discoveries of security defects. This solution supports mobile applications and is designed to make security testing easy, repeatable, and comprehensive.
