Periodic Testing

What is the best testing frequency? Many organizations settle for yearly assessments, or when major changes are made to applications or infrastructures. Is that enough?

It is becoming more and more common to perform very frequent small incremental updates to applications (when using Agile, DevOps and CD/CI software development models). This makes it necessary to adapt the testing frequency also, and is the reason that Secura also offers Periodical Testing (also known as Continuous Scanning) where applications are first tested manually, then automatically every month, week or biweekly. Given the frequency, test reports for the automated test will be delta reports, only providing the differences with the previous reports.
