Talk

Finding Security Issues in Open Source

This talk will focus on security from the point of view of software testers, not security experts. It will focus on tools and areas of testing which are often forgotten and could lead to security vulnerabilities. All of this is nicely peppered with examples from the open source world.
Alex will cover tools like bandit, Coverity, npm audit and a few more with detailed examples of open source projects that he is working on.
This talk is suitable for everyone, testers and developers alike.
