VALIDATION OF APPLIED SECURITY DESIGN PATTERNS USING TEST TEMPLATES IN SECURE AWARE SDLC

Security patterns are security knowledge encapsulated tools, they have significant contributions for supporting the software developers as all the software developers need not to be a security specialists. If the applied patterns are inappropriate, this will create vulnerabilities in the product implementation. Here we proposed a method for validation of applied security design patterns in the implementation phase of software development life cycle (SDLC). In this paper, we are verifying the security pattern by creating reusable test case. As a case study, we are validating the applied security patterns for Patient Monitoring System (PMS) application. We believe, the applied security patterns structure is verified in implementation phase. With this we achieve, the security patterns are successfully structured and verified in design and implementation phase. Thus, we can rename SDLC as secure aware SDLC.
