Abstract

Nowadays, the correct use of cryptography libraries is essential to ensure the necessary information security in different kinds of applications. A common practice in software development is the use of static application security testing (SAST) tools to analyze code regarding security vulnerabilities. Most of these tools are designed to run separately from development environments. Their results are extensive lists of security notifications, which software developers have to inspect manually in a time-consuming follow-up step. To support developers in their tasks of developing secure code, we present an approach for providing them with continuous immediate feedback of SAST tools in integrated development environments (IDEs). Our approach also considers the understandability of security notifications and aims for a user-centered approach that leverages developers’ feedback to build an adaptive system tailored to each individual developer.
