In this article, the authors contrast the results of a series of interviews with agile software development organizations with a case study of a distributed agile development effort, focusing on how information security is taken care of in an agile context. The interviews indicate that small and medium-sized agile software development organizations do not use any particular methodology to achieve security goals, even when their software is web-facing and potential targets of attack. This case study confirms that even in cases where security is an articulated requirement, and where security design is fed as input to the implementation team, there is no guarantee that the end result meets the security objectives. The authors contend that security must be built as an intrinsic software property and emphasize the need for security awareness throughout the whole software development lifecycle. This paper suggests two extensions to agile methodologies that may contribute to ensuring focus on security during the complete lifecycle.

Software Development Methods

Agile software development has established as a reliable alternative to waterfall software development model. Unfortunately the use of agile software development has been limited to time based contracts and not for time limited contracts. The main reason for this limitation is the “Agile manifesto” itself. The forth value of the manifesto states that agile believers find more value in “Responding to change over following a plan”. This is the one of the main reasons why agile software development methods are not preferred for a fixed priced contract or time limited contract. The following case study provides an example on how the agile software development can be used for fixed priced software development contracts even when operating in offshore context. The agile software development concepts were used throughout to plan, execute, monitor, report, etc. for the project documented in this case study.

Although Security is a non-functional requirement, it is a very essential requirement for software systems, to achieve secure software specification development for enterprises we need to find and fix vulnerabilities in the early phase of SDLC. For the successful achievement of secure software specification development in the software enterprise, the security of software application plays a very vital role. During the software development lifecycle, improper security can lead to thoughtful and serious consequences in any enterprise. In this paper, the case study approach is followed regarding the achievement of a secure web application, finding and fixing vulnerabilities in the early software development lifecycle, and applying the re-engineering process on a developed web application using the best security assessment model considering the literature review. Also, validation of the developed application is done with the help of Penetration testing.
