Understands security testing basics for QA: OWASP testing guidelines, basic security assertions in automated tests (XSS, SQL injection checks), and security test data management. Integrates basic security checks into existing test frameworks. Follows team practices for security regression testing.

Understands security testing fundamentals from QA perspective: manual security test case design, authentication/authorization flow testing, and input validation verification. Executes security-focused exploratory testing sessions. Follows team guidelines for security defect reporting and classification.

Understands security QA fundamentals: security test planning, OWASP testing methodology, and security-focused test case design. Executes security test suites covering authentication, authorization, input validation, and data protection. Uses basic security testing tools (OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite Community). Follows team practices for security defect lifecycle management.

Understands security testing from an analytical perspective: vulnerability assessment reports interpretation, security scan result analysis, and risk rating methodologies (CVSS). Monitors security scanning dashboards and tracks remediation progress. Follows team practices for vulnerability management workflows.

Implements security test automation: integrates OWASP ZAP into CI/CD for automated DAST, creates security regression test suites, and implements API security testing (authentication bypass, injection, rate limiting). Develops custom security test scripts for domain-specific vulnerabilities. Covers edge cases in security control validation.

Independently conducts manual security testing: exploratory security testing sessions, authentication/authorization bypass attempts, and input validation boundary testing. Creates comprehensive security test plans covering OWASP guidelines. Collaborates with pentest team on vulnerability verification. Implements security-focused test design techniques.

Conducts security testing: OWASP Top 10 verification, vulnerability scanning (ZAP/Burp), dependency checking (Snyk). Documents findings with reproducible steps.

Independently analyzes security testing results: correlates vulnerability scan findings across tools, assesses risk impact for business-critical applications, and tracks remediation SLA compliance. Creates vulnerability management reports and trend analysis. Conducts threat modeling sessions to prioritize security testing efforts.
