Requirements:

$$ Choose two software testing tools that perform a similar task $($for example, two SAST

tools, two DAST tools, or two Fuzz Testing tools$).$

$$ Compare and contrast the features and effectiveness of the two chosen tools, either by

direct testing, or by citing previous reviews and research. For your comparison, you

should consider the following:

o Designing for Security $$ e$.$g$.$ features that aid in the production of secure code

o Industry Standards $$ is it recommended by industry governing bodies?

o Openness $$ is it open source or proprietary?

o Cost $$ how expensive is it$?$

o Ease of use $$ is it easy to learn and use?

o Interoperability $$ does it support multiple programming languages? Can it be

used easily in conjunction with other tools?

$$ Once you have completed your comparison research, create a Powerpoint presentation

to compare and contrast the two tools.

o Include comparison information to address all of the considerations listed above,

but emphasize features that aid in Designing for Security.

o Finish with a conclusion that summarizes your findings and$/$or a

recommendation for one of the tools.

o Consider that slides should contain less text than a report; you will need to

consider the best ways to communicate the information in this format.

o Format your slides so that they are aesthetically appealing; make good use of

contrast, colors, and images$/$diagrams$/$screenshots to present your ideas

effectively in this format.

Format:

$$ Format your assignment as a Powerpoint document $(.$PPTX$).$

$$ Include a title slide with your name, course number, assignment number, and date of

submission.

$$ Include a slide for References. Use APA format
