Compuware was so kind to invite me to do the keynote on their product launch of two security/quality related products for .net in Amsterdam yesterday.

thanks for the invitation and hospitality!

ASP.NET Security Checker is an add-in for visual studio which checks your projects for common (and not so common) security flaws. It can operate in three modes – source code analysis, IL analysis and black box testing.

I am quite pleased to finally see the first security product for .net that takes the white box approach and operates on the source code. The security checker is fully integrated in Visual Studio and thus makes it easy to make security checking part of your development cycle. great!

Official product launch will be in january and i am happy to work with Compuware to provide more checks for upcoming versions/updates.

Fault Simulator can inject environmental and .net exceptions in your running code to see how your program can handle those conditions. I especially like the feature that Fault Simulator gives you hints while programming which exceptions could be thrown/tested for in your current line of code. good work!

i’ll keep you updated!
