Creating a Security Program with Less Complexity and More Visibility

Palo Alto Networks

Developing a strong security program is like tending a garden. It takes a lot of work, and you don’t always see immediate results. Every day you water the soil, pull the weeds, spray the bugs, and after a while, you begin to see the cumulative results of all of those individual efforts – a vibrant and healthy ecosystem.

While these can be tested through end-to-end tests running in the browser, such tests are slow and more work to maintain than unit tests. My colleague Matteo Vaccari has written an article on how to use TDD to test drive these templates using xunit-style tools which can be run easily from the command line or as part of build scripts.
