Application Testing
See how your application behaves under security testing.
Source-code analysis and runtime testing reveal different perspectives. Qualipr’s dynamic application testing helps teams assess running web applications and APIs to discover vulnerabilities through their observable behavior.
- Assess running web applications.
- Test APIs dynamically.
- Add runtime findings to the wider security assessment process.
Application Testing / DAST
Find vulnerabilities by testing the application as it runs.
Assess running web applications and APIs to discover security weaknesses through dynamic testing and understand how those issues appear from an external application perspective.
Placeholder: the real product screenshot will replace this image Review the weaknesses observed while testing a running application, with the context to investigate them.
The problem
Source-code analysis cannot show every behavior that emerges when an application is running. Teams also need to test how the application responds to requests and interacts with its exposed functionality.
How it works
Dynamic testing interacts with a running application in a configured test environment and evaluates observed behavior for supported security weaknesses.
What you can do
- Assess running web applications.
- Test supported API endpoints.
- Review dynamic security findings.
- Use relevant finding context in follow-up security investigation.
What you get
A view of security weaknesses observed during application testing, with context that can support investigation and remediation.
Where it fits
Dynamic findings can provide context for targeted static analysis, helping teams investigate relevant code paths.
Application Testing / Web Application Testing
Test your web applications from the outside in.
Assess running web applications and see how security weaknesses appear from an external perspective, adding runtime context to your application security process.
The problem
Some weaknesses only show up in how a running web application responds to requests. Source-code analysis alone cannot show every behavior of an application once it is running.
How it works
Web application testing is part of Qualipr’s dynamic testing approach. It interacts with a running web application in a configured test environment and evaluates observed behavior for supported security weaknesses.
What you can do
- Assess running web applications.
- Review dynamic security findings.
- Add runtime findings to the wider security assessment process.
What you get
A view of security weaknesses observed in a running web application, with context that supports investigation.

Application Testing / API Testing
Find vulnerabilities in your APIs by testing how they respond.
Test APIs dynamically to discover security weaknesses in how they behave while running, and add that runtime context to your application security process.
The problem
APIs expose application functionality directly, and some weaknesses only appear in how an API responds to requests. Teams need a way to test that behavior, not only the code behind it.
How it works
API testing is part of Qualipr’s dynamic testing approach. It interacts with supported API endpoints in a configured test environment and evaluates observed behavior for supported security weaknesses.
What you can do
- Test supported API endpoints.
- Review dynamic security findings.
- Add runtime findings to the wider security assessment process.
What you get
A view of security weaknesses observed while testing your APIs, with context that supports investigation.

FAQ
Questions about this module
Why test a running application if I already analyze source code?
Source-code analysis cannot show every behavior that emerges while an application is running. Dynamic testing evaluates how the application responds to requests and exposes its functionality.
Where does dynamic testing run?
Dynamic testing interacts with a running application in a configured test environment.
Is Application Testing part of every plan?
Application Testing is offered as an add-on to the Team and Enterprise plans. See the pricing page for details.
