Frequently Asked App Pentest Questions

We are doing penetration tests all the time but most organizations will only perform one to a handful a year. Below are some great questions we hear regularly.

What is application penetration testing?

Application penetration testing simulates real-world attacks on your application to identify and address security vulnerabilities.

Why is manual testing important in application security?

Manual testing by experienced developers reveals complex vulnerabilities that automated tools often miss, ensuring a more secure application.

Your application wasn't built by an automation because it deals with complex scenarios. For this same reason automating testing will only scratch the surface.

How often should application penetration testing be conducted?

Ideally, it should be done at least annually or whenever there are significant updates, to keep your application secure.

Generally, most security frameworks specify testing on an annual basis.

What is the difference between automated and manual testing?

Automated tools scan for common vulnerabilities, while manual testing dives deeper, uncovering complex issues and logic flaws specific to your application.

Do you provide recommendations for fixing vulnerabilities?

Yes, we offer actionable, context-specific guidance tailored to your application’s code and structure.

Do you need access to our source code?

We don’t require access, but we highly recommend it. With source code, we can focus testing efforts where it matters most, providing greater value by avoiding areas that are already secure.

Will I receive a detailed report after testing?

Yes, we provide a clear report highlighting vulnerabilities, risk levels, and actionable recommendations.

In addition to a fully documented report, we will also schedule time with your team after the report has been delivered to review all findings to explain the findings and answer any questions you may have.

How long does an application penetration test take?

Typically, our testing process takes about one week, followed by a few days to complete the report. From kick-off, you can generally expect a report within two weeks.

However, testing duration can vary based on your application’s complexity and the extent of user interactions. For new or simpler applications (e.g., a startup), we assume one week of testing, while more complex applications may take up to four weeks.

We’ll conduct a scoping discussion with your team to determine the level of testing that best fits your application and business needs.

Will testing disrupt my application’s functionality?

We prefer to perform testing in dedicated testing or QA environments to avoid any impact on your live application.

If necessary, we can conduct testing in production with careful planning to minimize disruptions. Our team will work closely with you to determine the safest approach based on your needs and environment.
