Definition
Application security testing (AST) involves verifying that an application is free from security vulnerabilities. This includes methods like static analysis, dynamic analysis, and penetration testing.
Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)
ECC incorporates security testing by running its own attacks to identify and fix vulnerabilities early in the development process.
