This chapter covered performance and assurance requirements in software applications. Information technology application systems such as object-oriented systems, Artificial Intelligence systems, Database management systems, and other application development systems have inherent security and performance controls.
However, software and applications need to be tested for security during development and regularly after implementation. Such tests need to focus on published and known vulnerabilities as well as unknown vulnerabilities based on attack scenarios.
The next chapter is a revision chapter for the chapters 16 to 19. References and further study on the preceding four chapters are provided. An exam cram as well as a mock test consisting of about 10 questions is also provided.
