Quadrant Knowledge Solutions characterizes Application Security Testing (AST) as a suite of tools designed to identify security vulnerabilities in source code throughout the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). This involves continuous security testing to fortify applications against potential security threats and vulnerabilities. AST employs a comprehensive strategy to safeguard applications from the development phase to the protection phase, utilizing techniques like Static AST, Dynamic AST, Interactive AST, and Software Component Analysis. These tools assist developers in constructing robust and secure code, enabling them to address and mitigate risks and threats, ultimately reducing vulnerabilities and enhancing the operational efficiency and overall security of an application.

To enhance influence over the development pipeline, organizations are integrating app sec tools into the DevOps toolchain. Integrating static and dynamic testing into the Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline provides a more thorough understanding of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) risks. However, it is imperative to implement safeguards to ensure that developers using the technology follow secure practices. Furthermore, a 'shift-left' approach is being adopted to make the application security process more developer-centric, facilitated by the integration of Static AST (SAST) and Dynamic AST (DAST).
