I agree with some cases, but "is this parameter/input value properly sanitized" is a bit weird. It should only every apply to a) the db framework, b) those N really weird cases that have to break the abstraction and don't use the db framework. If you have to test every input, then the problem is on a completely different level than missing a test.


Kind of, if you have a centralized place to perform input data validation, as it should, then it is just a matter to test that piece of code same if you are using a framework. However, I don't understand why you refer to a db in the first place? Is it because I used the injection attack as an example? if that's the case bare in mind that Injection target other interprets as well not only a db.

But getting back to my original idea, what I want to highlight the need of adding cases to cover application security.


Yeah, my mind substituted parameter with query parameter. Too much database stuff at my $dayjob recently and I get tunnel vision ;-)


lol! thanks for your comments.
