Analyzing Code for Security Flaws and Generating Custom Security Testing Scripts (Testing Phase)

In this recipe, you’ll use ChatGPT to identify potential security vulnerabilities in your code and generate custom scripts for security testing. This recipe is an invaluable tool for software developers, QA engineers, security engineers, and anyone involved in the process of creating and maintaining secure software systems.

Using the foundational knowledge of ChatGPT and the OpenAI API from previous chapters, this recipe guides you through the process of conducting a preliminary security review of your code and developing targeted security tests. ChatGPT can assist by scrutinizing provided code snippets, identifying potential security flaws, and then helping you create custom testing scripts based on these potential vulnerabilities.

You’ll learn to formulate effective prompts that elicit high-quality, insightful responses about potential security issues in your code...
