SANS / MITRE Top 25 programming errors that effect security and CAM testingtoolkit?!
Interestingly the #1 error is:

 

CATEGORY: Insecure Interaction Between Components

 

CWE-20: Improper Input Validation

 

It's the number one killer of healthy software, so you're just asking for trouble if you don't ensure that your input conforms to

expectations... For more see: http://cwe.mitre.org/top25/#CWE-20

Obviously our work on the interoperability toolkit falls into this category of ensuring you send and receive what is expected and that your pass/fail test case suite ensures all logic paths are exercised and handled correctly.

 

You just cannot have too much test data!

 

Thanks, DW
