Abstract:

Software testing is a very important activity in the verification and validation process of Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), is the important means to guarantee the reliability of the software. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of software scale and complexity, software testing technology is also growing, but programming language itself inherent characteristics and developers in programming without thoughtful prevented many loopholes in compile, run and test phase, found that the defects by input validation, access validation errors, design errors, special conditions and competition conditions of errors in the circumstance that does not result in system crash, can tamper with the system user permissions in the form of a threat to system security. Through analyzing the potential security flaw which are neglected on software test, methods and preventive measure for solving them are summed up. Through giving the specific code features of this kind of defect, software developers’ awareness on the problem is enhanced. They have a positive significance to the reliability of the software.

Key words: software test, software capability maturity model integration, the potential security flaw, the reliability of the software
