Security testing is a non-functional testing type.

It tests how secure the application is. It guarantees security in the application so that the user can trust the application and can provide with very confidential information via the application believing that all the confidential data remains confidential.

Security testing is a process to determine that an information system protects data and maintains functionality as intended.

The six basic security concepts that need to be covered by security testing are: confidentiality, integrity, authentication, availability, authorization and non-repudiation. Security testing as a term has a number of different meanings and can be completed in a number of different ways. As such a Security Taxonomy helps us to understand these different approaches and meanings by providing a base level to work from.
