Abstract
The thesis provides a well thought-out DevSecOps framework for web applications that specifically addresses the urgent need to integrate security into CI/CD pipeline in an unobtrusive manner. The framework automates the process of security testing through SAST, DAST while at the same time adopting manual penetration testing approaches. Implemented on AWS platforms through the GitLab CI/CD pipeline, it simplifies security assessment and improves deployment effectiveness. This is facilitated by a major aspect of the framework which is its capability to combine tool outputs thereby enabling unified security audit report generation. Empirical evaluation and case studies demonstrate the practicality and efficacy of the proposed solution in enhancing the security posture of web applications. By developing an exhaustive approach to security testing based on tools, this thesis advances DevSecOps practices thus filling an important void in existing literature for developers and stakeholders with concrete takeaways.
