Projects/OWASP Testing Project/Releases/Testing Guide V 4.0/Roadmap

• Project Roadmap
  • Introduce the new project to the testing Guide mailing list,
  • Involve the contributors: we need to involve also the final users of the Testing Guide (for example Banking Companies to understand how they would like to improve that).
  • Update the OWASP vulnerability database. I mean we can update this:
    
  • http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Testing_Checklist
    
  • Inserting new testing techniques: HTTP Verb tampering, HTTP Parameter Pollutions, URL Redirection, Insecure Direct Object References, Insecure Cryptographic Storage, Failure to Restrict URL Access, Insufficient Transport Layer Protection, Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards.
  • Create a test case for each test to perform using O2 platform
  • Review and improve all the sections in v3,
  • Create a more readable guide, eliminating some sections that are not really useful, Rationalize some sections as Session Management Testing,
  • Create a new section: Client side security and Firefox extensions testing.
