Automating OWASP MSTG through BDD mobile security testings

ING provides a set of BDD security tests with Calabash,Cucumber and Ruby, following the OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide and the OWASP Mobile Top 10 2016, that can be easily customized and implemented through the entire CI/CD pipeline.

The tests use the power of calabash.io to automate the UI, Cucumber and Gherkin for its simple language and the Android tools to check for security issues.

Prerequisites for Android

• Docker
• Genymotion or real devices

Prerequisites for iOS

• macOS

Docker container for Android testing

The docker container can be used to spin up Calabash and the Android tools. Follow the README in the docker folder.

At the moment the docker container can only be used to test Android applications. If you want to run iOS tests you need to install Calabash native on macOS
