Having secure mobile applications is very important for the business, which in turn, requires testing for the security of all mobile applications. Security testing is therefore considered important testing by testers. Authentication, authorization, data security, hacking vulnerabilities, session management, etc., are all included in mobile application security testing. This test can ensure there aren't any loopholes allowing data to be lost. Testing is meant to IDENTIFY any potential threats or vulnerabilities that could allow EXTERNAL parties to access private information on the mobile device.

 Testing mobile applications for security include the following: 

• Check if the application supports multiple USERS without interfering with their data.
• Verifies sensitive data is communicated using a decryption or ENCRYPTION method.
• Verifies that anyone with unauthorized access to files stored in the app is not accessing them.
• Identify sensitive areas of the application to ensure it does not receive any malicious content.
• Validates an application's RESISTANCE to malicious attacks or cyber-attacks and ensures that developers adhere to security practices when programming.
