The most crucial aspect to consider is the comprehensiveness of the solution in covering a wide range of security vulnerabilities.
Essential factors include:
Coverage of Security Vulnerabilities: Ability to detect a broad spectrum of security issues, from common OWASP Top Ten to more intricate, application-specific vulnerabilities.
Integration Capabilities: Ease of integration with existing development and deployment pipelines to ensure seamless continuity in software development processes.
Scalability: Ability to accommodate growth in software complexity and volume without degradation in performance.
Accuracy and False Positive Rate: High precision in identifying true security threats while minimizing false positives, which can waste developer time and resources.
Ease of Use: User-friendly interface and straightforward setup and maintenance processes to minimize the learning curve and operational overhead.
Support and Documentation: Availability of robust documentation and responsive support to assist in the setup, troubleshooting, and ongoing management of the tool.
Regular Updates and Research Investment: Frequency of updates to the tool, ensuring it stays abreast of emerging security threats and vulnerabilities.

1. Coverage - should cover various attack vectors and vulnerabilities 2. Accuracy - should minimize false positives/negatives through advanced scanning techniques and validation mechanisms 3. Relevance - should be relevant to the specific technology stack, frameworks, and programming languages used in the application 4. Scalability - It should be able to handle large-scale testing across multiple applications without sacrificing performance or accuracy. 5. Actionability - provide actionable insights and recommendations for addressing identified vulnerabilities. 6. Integration - CI/CD Pipeline Support 7. Compliance - Based on Industry, the compliance issues should be listed.
Accuracy of the assessment report is the most important aspect of application security test. It should not contain false-positives, be well structured and provide enough information for the developers to fix the discovered issues.
1) Strong enrypting and valide certificates. 2) Separated security policies for different parts of solution. 3) Secured accounts for maintaining. 4) Performance bottlenecks between frontend and backend. 5) Overall stability of whole solution under stress.
Application Security Testing (AST) solutions are used to identify and fix security vulnerabilities in software applications. They can be used at all stages of the software development lifecycle, from development to testing to deployment.
