Dynatrace unveils Security Analytics to elevate threat detection, forensics, and incident response

Dynatrace

With up to 70% of security events going uninvestigated, security analysts need all the help they can get. After a security event, many organizations often don’t know for months (or even years) when why or how it happened. This represents a significant risk, with the same attack vector repeatedly getting exploited if a vulnerability is not resolved on time.

Basis Path Testing in Software Testing

Testlodge

Basis path testing in software testing is a white box method where the tester examines the codebase to identify all possible paths that could be taken by the user to achieve their aims. These paths are then written as test cases to ensure all the different identified scenarios in the main branches are covered. Higher test coverage is then achieved when test cases are executed, typically through a form of unit testing.
