Finding and fixing problems early: A perspective-based approach to requirements and design inspections
Abstract
Viewing security vulnerabilities as a specific type of software defect allows proven software engineering techniques for finding and fixing them to be used early in the development of the product. Finding and fixing these problems early (i.e. at the requirements or design phase) mil reduce the overall risk and cost of tee product. This article describes the application of a previously successful early life cycle software inspection approach (perspective-based reading [PBR]) to the problem of software security. Excerpts from this tailored approach are provided along with guidance on it use.
