Hearing about a constant struggle between creativity and the journey to get it into the final signed off output? Is a simple Click-and-Drag enough to get that magical output from the glut of No-Code web design tools out there? Has the code barrier been overcome and your designer can get your website ready in a jiffy?

The software program is an occupation that seems like a dream job for many young people, that are about to graduate. It seems that all you need is a basic knowledge of any programming language to “code” and earn piles of money.

Every piece of software may have bugs that hinder its functionality. Sometimes those bugs can cause security issues. Those issues could be then turned against the user. That’s the exact reason why it’s so important to run an efficient QA process during the development. Regular updates to the already deployed code further help to prevent exploitation.

Security of online transactions, but also of all the websites that process personal data, remains very important for business owners of all verticals. Many of them rely on well-known solutions, such as SSL certificates – which became industry standard, and are now required by parties like Google, to be treated as a secure website. By complying with SSL standards, a website is indexed higher, and the SEO score rises. However, are those certificates really as secure as we all consider them to be?

The biggest concern about the whole issue of Security tests in software development, is the fact, that they are often completely omitted part of the cycle. This tendency can be spotted especially in the projects that have a very tight budget – we’ve discussed it last month in the article of the importance of QA – where it relates to the budget cuts and redirection of the resources towards the “creative” part of the development process.
