Introduction Security is defined as “No unauthorized Access of information”. Security is very essential to maintain the integrity of System [1,2]. Security Testing is the first step to detect flaws in the security measures of System [3,4]. Security of System can be measured by following criteria: 1. Confidentiality: It defines certain rules and constraints to access any important information 2. Integrity: Integrity means correctness of information. If the integrity of information is reserved then quality of information will definitely increased. 3. Authentication: Authentication is the process of identifying identity of Person. This process is commonly done through username and password. 4. Authorization: Authorization means access rights. Access Rights means whether user can read, write, and execute the file or whether he has right to access the resource or not. 5. Non-repudiation: In reference to digital security, nonrepudiation means to ensure that a transferred message has been sent by correct sender and received by correct receiver. This is done mainly through digital certificates to ensure integrity of sender and receiver. Security testing terminologies 1. Unit Testing: Testing is the strategy to detect faults in the System. Unit testing means testing each line in a component or modules. 2. Functional Testing: Functional Testing is used to measure the quality of functional components of System. 3. System Testing: System Testing is used to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of whole System within real world constraints.
