Security Testing in Development

Security Testing in Development

Security testing during development catches vulnerabilities before they become embedded in code. Container-specific security testing includes image composition analysis, runtime behavior testing, and integration security testing. Automated security testing in development environments provides rapid feedback without blocking deployments.

Container composition testing verifies that assembled containers maintain security properties. This includes testing user permissions, capability restrictions, and network isolation. Integration testing should verify security controls function correctly when containers interact. Performance testing should include security control overhead to ensure acceptable impact.
