There are some key considerations to bear in mind when selecting security automation tools. The tools you select may depend on the integration of your existing automation testing framework. In our case, the testing framework and tools we will use are Python, Selenium, Robot Framework, and Jenkins. We also plan to use DefectDojo to present the results of those tools. In summary, the key considerations that we should bear in mind when selecting our security and automation frameworks are as follows:
- Is it open source? If so, that would provide the flexibility to extend or customize the frameworks.
- Is it cross-platform? The frameworks must be able to work in Windows or Linux.
- What interfaces are there? The GUI interface may easy to use but it can be a barrier to automation. We will also look for tools that support command-line interfaces...
