Query: An Efficient Approach for Reviewing Security-Related Aspects in Agile
  Requirements Specifications of Web Applications   Defects in requirements specifications can have severe consequences during
the software development lifecycle. Some of them may result in poor product
quality and/or time and budget overruns due to incorrect or missing quality
characteristics, such as security. This characteristic requires special
attention in web applications because they have become a target for
manipulating sensible data. Several concerns make security difficult to deal
with. For instance, security requirements are often misunderstood and
improperly specified due to lack of security expertise and emphasis on security
during early stages of software development. This often leads to unspecified or
ill-defined security-related aspects. These concerns become even more
challenging in agile contexts, where lightweight documentation is typically
produced. To tackle this problem, we designed an approach for reviewing
security-related aspects in agile requirements specifications of web
applications. Our proposal considers user stories and security specifications
as inputs and relates those user stories to security properties via Natural
Language Processing. Based on the related security properties, our approach
identifies high-level security requirements from the Open Web Application
Security Project (OWASP) to be verified, and generates a reading technique to
support reviewers in detecting defects. We evaluate our approach via three
experiment trials conducted with 56 novice software engineers, measuring
effectiveness, efficiency, usefulness, and ease of use. We compare our approach
against using: (1) the OWASP high-level security requirements, and (2) a
perspective-based approach as proposed in contemporary state of the art. The
results strengthen our confidence that using our approach has a positive impact
(with large effect size) on the performance of inspectors in terms of
effectiveness and efficiency.
