How To Measure Developer Security Knowledge

Aspect Security has launched a free baseline knowledge tool that claims to produce an accurate assessment of a development team's knowledge of application security. Secure Coder Analytics can be accessed online to determine the skill set and level of a group of developers or individuals.

"How do you know what you don't know? That's the challenge facing development teams that want to develop secure code. There's no shame in not knowing all of the tricky aspects of application security, and now you can find out where your gaps are," said Jeff Williams, CEO of Aspect Security.

Williams is also cofounder of the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), and he contends his firm's Secure Coder Analytics takes a developer approximately 20 minutes to complete and tests knowledge in various security areas via a multiple-choice assessment.

Questions are randomized from what is said to be an "extensive" pool of questions. Managers of development teams can set up their own tests and invite developers to participate anonymously. After participating, each developer sees their own grade and managers can see aggregate scores that reveal the strengths and weaknesses of the team as a whole.

Aspect Security's eLearning curriculum features 53 learning modules at three different levels of technical depth. The company says that its eLearning solution is in use by developers worldwide at many corporate entities, including giants in the financial, shipping, and logistics and airline industries and government agencies.


To test the measure power consumption feature of the PlugSim class, you can create an instance of the class and call the measurePower() method multiple times with different inputs. You can also check the power field of the instance to see if it has been updated correctly after calling the measurePower() method. For example, you can create a test case that turns on the plug, calls the measurePower() method multiple times, and checks if the power field is within a reasonable range. You can also create a test case that turns off the plug, calls the measurePower() method, and checks if the power field is zero. Here's an example test case using JUnit 5 framework: ``` import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test; import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.*; public class PlugSimTest { @Test public void testMeasurePower() { PlugSim plug = new PlugSim("Test Plug"); plug.switchOn(); for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { plug.measurePower(); double power = plug.getPower(); assertTrue(power >= 0 && power <= 400, "Power reading out of range: " + power); } } @Test public void testMeasurePowerWhenOff() { PlugSim plug = new PlugSim("Test Plug"); plug.switchOff(); plug.measurePower(); double power = plug.getPower(); assertEquals(0, power, "Power reading should be zero when plug is off"); } } ``` In the first test case, we create a new PlugSim instance, turn it on, and call the measurePower() method 10 times. We check if the power reading is within the range of 0 to 400 watts, which is a reasonable range for a typical household appliance. In the second test case, we turn off the plug, call the measurePower() method, and check if the power reading is zero.
