Testing the code for SQL injection flaws

Until now, we discussed the symptoms and remedies of SQL injection. We demonstrated the programming recommendations to mitigate the effects of code injections and smuggles. Assuring code quality and testing play a crucial role in taking preventive measures against hackers. Code testing resources must adopt a concrete strategy to discover and hit upon the code vulnerabilities before it invites an attacker to exploit the database. Now, we will discuss some of the testing considerations to test the code for SQL injection flaws.

Test strategy

A logical and effective test strategy must be employed to discover injection flaws. Of course, there is no magic practice to ooze out all flaws in the code.

The usual code ...
