Software Vulnerability Discovery Process

With the inception of advancements in the computing technologies, the reliability of the systems has increased manifolds. The proliferation of technologies has gone far beyond even the most optimistic forecasts. By virtue
of ongoing advances in networking, internet has now become a necessity. But, like it is said, every coin has two sides; this exhaustive connectivity of computing systems has further raised the already existing security concerns
in the software world. It is of late that researchers have developed interest in investigating potential number of vulnerabilities by making use of quantitative models. Vulnerabilities have been reported in various software systems
and in order to mitigate the risk associated with these vulnerabilities, both the developers and the users have to utilize resources.
