Security testing is one of the most important security practices today. To secure an application it’s important to go for a security testing phase during the development life cycle. Many useful enhancements are done using UML diagrams to model security like Misuse cases, Mis-sequence diagrams and Misuse deployment diagrams etc. Misuse deployment diagrams can be used to model a client server env...

There are several methods for the derivation and analysis of detailed non-functional requirements. They often are designed for a special application, like misuse cases for top-down derivation of requirements detailing the quality attribute “security”, or ATAM for evaluating given architectural alternatives. In this work, we apply misuse cases to any other quality attribute (e.g. usability, effi...
