Model-based Approach to Security Test Automation

This is 16 page white paper PDF document on Model-based Approach to Security Test Automation. Security functional testing is a costly activity typically performed by security evaluation laboratories. These laboratories have struggled to keep pace with increasing demand to test numerous product variations. This paper summarizes the results of applying a model-based approach to automate security functional testing. The approach involves developing models of security function specifications (SFS) as the basis for automatic test vector and test driver generation. In the application, security properties were modeled and the resulting tests were executed against Oracle and Interbase database engines through a fully automated process.
