Security in Agile and Scrum: Integrating Testing Into Sprint Cycles ສຳລັບວິສາຫະກິດລາວ

Agile development practices — short sprints, continuous delivery, iterative development — can create tension with security testing if testing is treated as a waterfall-style gate at the end. Integrating security into agile means: including security acceptance criteria in user stories, running automated security scans in CI/CD (SAST, DAST, dependency scanning), conducting threat modelling for new features during sprint planning, performing focused security testing of new functionality each sprint, and scheduling comprehensive penetration testing at regular intervals (quarterly or per release). The goal is continuous security assurance that matches development velocity.
