Welcome to the module,
Differentiating the Pros and Cons of Automated Security Testing.
And we'll continue with our scenario.
The previous module introduced us to Maeve, working for Globomantics.
Maeve, interested in DevSecOps and automated testing,
wanting to know more about automated security testing,
she asked the help of Jennifer, a consultant.
Jennifer explained in the previous module what security testing and,
in particular, automated security testing is.
Now that Maeve knows what automated security testing is,
she wonders whether Globomantics can actually use it.
And Jennifer responds with the question,
"Let's talk about the pros and cons first.
" And that's exactly what we're going to do in this module.
We start off this module by taking a look at the
advantages of automated security testing,
followed up by the disadvantages, the cons of automated security testing,
and that will lead us to the conclusion of the module,
when does it make sense to use automated security testing and when not.
In the next clip, we'll start with the pros of automated security testing.
