Challenges and Limitations of Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) in Modern Software Development Environments: A Systematic Review

Author(s) Vivek Somi
Country United States
Abstract DAST or Dynamic Application Security Testing can be considered a critical methodology in the contemporary approach to software security, including those flaws that emerge during application execution. While compared to static testing approaches, DAST delivers application assessments from an external point of view to mimic genuine attack vectors without the need for direct access to the source code. This systematic review aims to understand some of the limitations of DAST ranging from the use in CI/CD pipelines, DAST performance in microservices and cloud-native architectures and the ability of DAST to detect vulnerabilities. Technical constraints including the false positive rates, false negative rates, and missed areas are also explored. Furthermore, this review looks into new trends with solutions such as the synergy of DAST with VST and the incorporation of AI in boosting the DAST effectiveness. Thus, with the help of identifying these challenges and discussing new approaches to them, this work is to give a guideline on enhancing the efficiency of DAST for protecting current software applications. Lastly, the review gives information about newer potential future trends and advancements that may enhance the effectiveness, efficiency, and extensibility of DAST in more complex software systems.
