How can I automate security tests in Python?

You can use libraries like pytest along with security testing tools such as bandit or safety to automate security tests.

Can you give me an example of a simple security test using pytest?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import pytest

def test_insecure_code():
    assert not is_insecure('some insecure code')

What are some common security vulnerabilities I should test for?

Common vulnerabilities include SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure deserialization. You can use tools like OWASP ZAP for testing.

How do I integrate these tests into my CI/CD pipeline?

You can add your security tests as a step in your CI/CD pipeline configuration file, ensuring they run automatically with each build.
