The Agile Development Trend
Agile development is rapidly becoming business critical, as the
time from development to deployment is no longer measured in
months, but days or even hours. As such, despite early and
continuous testing, products often contain bugs and vulnerabilities
that slip through the cracks. In fact, according to the NIST, the
annual cost incurred by these vulnerabilities in the U.S. alone is
about $59.6 billion1.
Ixia Developer Reduces Costs; Speeds Time to Market
Ixia Developer tackles this problem head on. It generates rich
and realistic application traffic along with malicious attacks and
automated threats, enabling agile developers to find bugs and
vulnerabilities as they write code. Ixia Developer also offers
developer-specific functionality, such as a comprehensive built-in
debugger, and the ability to import and replay packet captures.
“We really like Ixia Developer, not just because it has many
built in debugging and traffic generation capabilities, but its
ease of use and VM based-deployment has made adoption by our
engineers much easier,” said Aria Eslambolchizadeh, Executive
Director Quality Engineering, at SonicWALL. “Ixia Developer has
enabled our developers to do the testing themselves, saving
valuable time in fixing issues. In addition, the traffic generator
has helped both our developers and QA Engineers to validate bugs,
while proving the real application monitoring capabilities of our
security devices. This is critical for SonicWALL’s network security
devices.”
Further, it is easy to automate and/or embed Ixia Developer in
continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) frameworks
using REST APIs and a rich command line interface. The agile CI/CD
model is most effective when disparate teams across service
provider, QA, production, development, and vendor can streamline
discovery and resolution of issues found in different phases,
accelerating time to market.
Ixia Developer customers can also access built-in community
features. These include referring colleagues and providing
real-time feedback, while receiving monthly updates. As a fully
virtualized solution, Ixia Developer can be deployed in minutes. It
also eliminates the need for costly hardware investments from the
desktop, to the laptop, to the data center, and to the cloud.
Sunil Kalidindi, Vice President of Product Management at Ixia,
said “The need for speed is understandable, but quality shouldn’t
be sacrificed in the process. Ixia Developer allows agile
development and comprehensive, automated testing to happen in
tandem—presenting the most realistic situations for the best
understanding of potential bugs and vulnerabilities in any
development cycle.”
Developer Survey Finds the Tool Makes the Test
A recent survey conducted by Ixia of 363 developers found that
95 percent of respondents run at least five security and load tests
during the application development process. However, 65 percent
admit to deploying products with bugs and 31 percent said products
harbored significant vulnerabilities that required patching later
in the cycle. In addition, although 56 percent of respondents
claimed that security testing is the most important component of
the application development process, 39 percent do not currently
use commercial developer test tools for applications and
security.
“As DevOps continues to pervade into mainstream IT, it's
becoming imperative to broaden the testing mindset to
include security, which increases IT agility while lowering the
impact of vulnerabilities,” said Donnie Berkholz, Research Director
for Development, DevOps, & IT Ops at 451 Research.
“Unfortunately though, most companies do not yet fully integrate
comprehensive security testing earlier in the software lifecycle
but instead consider it far too late in the process, even with the
most mission-critical applications.”
