The new OWASP testing Guidev3:
This document analyze the OWASP Testing Guide v2 checklist and a plan for create the new v3.

• 1) Methodical Testing (new category) <-- (Mat) needs explanation
• 2) Authorization testing missing. (new category)
• 3) Information gathering is not a vulnerability
• 4) Business logic testing
• 5) Infrastructural test  (new category) *this has to only concentrate on 80 and 443 and other web related testing
• 6) Web Services section needs improvement
• 7) AJAX Testing section needs improvement
• 8) Testing Methodology section updates (requirements, plans, levels and environments)
• 9) New category: Client side Testing
• 10) New category: Thick Client Testing
• 11) New category: Flash/Silverlight Applications
• 12) New category: Assessing Financial Applications
• 13) New category: Fuzzing (we have the vectors, but this should explain the whole concept)

Proposed new categories for the OTG v3:

• OTG Form Templates
  • OTG Request for Quote (RFQ) (new)
  • OTG 3rd Party Assessment Authorization Form (new)
  • OTG Sample Report (new)
• Passive Mode
• Information Gathering
• Business logic testing
• Web Application Penetration Testing
  • Infrastructural testing
  • Authentication Testing
  • Authorization Testing (new)
  • Session Management Testing
  • Data Validation Testing
  • Denial of Service Testing
  • Web Services Testing
  • Client-Side Testing
    • AJAX Testing
    • Flash Testing (new)
    • RIA stuff (new)
