Web Application Penetration Testing(WAPT) and how to choose an ideal vendor?

Web application penetration testing (WAPT) involves a methodological series of steps aimed at gathering information about the target system, finding vulnerabilities or faults in it, and researching for exploits that will succeed against those faults or vulnerabilities and compromise the web application. Web application penetration testing (WAPT) works by using manual or automated penetration tests to identify any vulnerability, security flaws or threats in a web application. The tests involve using/implementing any of the known malicious penetration attacks on the application. The penetration tester exhibits/fabricates attacks and the environment from an attacker’s perspective, such as using SQL injection tests. The key outcome of web application penetration testing is to identify security weaknesses across the entire web application and its components (source code, database, back-end network). It also helps in prioritizing the identified vulnerabilities and threats, and possible ways to mitigate them.
