Security Testing Management in Jira

Organize and track security test cases and vulnerability verification

Security testing verifies that applications are protected against threats. Learn how to manage security test cases, track vulnerabilities, and ensure compliance in Jira.

The Challenge

Security testing requires specific management:

  • Comprehensive coverage of security requirements
  • OWASP and compliance framework alignment
  • Tracking vulnerability remediation
  • Coordinating with security tools and scans
  • Audit trail for compliance

How to Implement

1

Define Security Requirements

Document security requirements based on compliance frameworks, threat models, and security policies.

2

Create Security Test Cases

Write tests for authentication, authorization, input validation, encryption, and other security controls.

3

Organize by Framework

Create folders aligned with OWASP Top 10, CWE categories, or your security framework.

4

Execute and Document

Run security tests manually or coordinate with automated scans. Document findings thoroughly.

5

Track Remediation

Link security defects to tests. Re-execute tests after fixes to verify remediation.

Best Practices

  • Align tests with OWASP Top 10 and relevant compliance frameworks
  • Document exact steps to reproduce security issues
  • Include both positive (access allowed) and negative (access denied) tests
  • Retest all security fixes before closing vulnerabilities
  • Maintain security test documentation for audits
