Platform solutions build beyond the basics to offer standardized pipelines and testing processes. Successfully implementing these processes generates repeatable Bodies of Evidence (BoEs) that allow measuring all software against the same standard. BoEs are the documents, artifacts, and processes that demonstrate to external auditors or other interested parties that security and quality exist. Often, we fall into the trap of thinking that because an application performs a unique function, we should test for different standards. Implementing best practices ensures quality across the product and allows for continual success.

In this chapter, we’ll explore how to design and implement effective test strategies ...
