System for testing an application with dynamically linked security tests

A computer program product for testing an application with dynamically linked security tests, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code causing a first apparatus to:

• provide, based on a first queue, first data from a first data structure to a request engine, wherein the first data structure comprises one or more pages of an application and one or more page links;
• perform, using the request engine, based on the first data, and based on test protocols stored in a second data structure, a first security test on the application;
• parse a first response of the application to the first security test to determine whether the application passed or failed the first security test;
• determine, based on determining that the application failed the first security test and based on a third data structure, whether the first security test is linked to one or more other security tests, wherein the third data structure comprises security test sequences linking security tests;
• provide, to the first queue, based on determining that the first security test is linked to one or more other security tests, and based on a first security test sequence of the security test sequences, the one or more other security tests to which the first security test is linked;
• provide, based on the first queue and based on the one or more other security tests, second data from the first data structure to the request engine;
• and
• perform, using the request engine, based on the second data, and based on other test protocols stored in the second data structure, the one or more other security tests on the application.

A method for testing an application with dynamically linked security tests, the method comprising:

• providing, based on a first queue, first data from a first data structure to a request engine, wherein the first data structure comprises one or more pages of an application and one or more page links;
• performing, using the request engine, based on the first data, and based on test protocols stored in a second data structure, a first security test on the application;
• parsing a first response of the application to the first security test to determine whether the application passed or failed the first security test;
• determining, based on determining that the application failed the first security test and based on a third data structure, whether the first security test is linked to one or more other security tests, wherein the third data structure comprises security test sequences linking security tests;
• providing, to the first queue, based on determining that the first security test is linked to one or more other security tests, and based on a first security test sequence of the security test sequences, the one or more other security tests to which the first security test is linked;
• providing, based on the first queue and based on the one or more other security tests, second data from the first data structure to the request engine;
• and
• performing, using the request engine, based on the second data, and based on other test protocols stored in the second data structure, the one or more other security tests on the application.
