Application pen testing is a comprehensive process involving a series of different steps. The high level of complexity in carrying out these steps might lead to human errors. This is the major cause of mistakes in penetration testing assessments. Sometimes incomplete and outdated information provided to the testing teams can also lead them to miss vulnerabilities or make incorrect assumptions. Furthermore, pen-testing tools can generate several false positives displaying vulnerabilities that do not exist. Meanwhile, they miss detecting the vulnerabilities that are actually present. Additionally, the over-reliance on automated tools is also the reason why some important vulnerabilities are overlooked by the testing teams.
