SECURITY PRACTICES IN DEVELOPMENT USING AGILE METHODOLOGIES

Abstract

In the early 1990s, with the growth in the use of computers by companies, software development faced a crisis with many delays in application deliveries. In this way, several professionals began to work in search of new approaches to eliminate what they considered unproductive activities within software development and generate models that better adapted to modernity. In this context, different types of agile methodologies emerged. The focus of these methods has been to streamline software development processes in order to eliminate the main problems that companies face in projects. These are strategies and techniques aimed at the collaboration of all members within small work cycles, using incremental development. By using agile processes, it is possible to optimize efficiency during execution, as a large task is divided into smaller steps. This way, better and faster results are obtained, as an environment of constant dialogue is created. This allows for resource control and transparency, as well as ensuring customer feedback at every stage. Such actions make managing changes simpler than at the end of all processes. This bibliographical work approached security practices in development using agile methodologies.
