Hey folks! :rocket:

Check out Anton’s latest video on Implementing Security Best Practices and discover how to effectively manage sensitive data within your test automation framework. Don’t miss these essential insights for securing your tests!

LambdaTest provides API access for managing test executions and environments. To enhance security:

  • Use API keys and rotate them regularly.
  • Implement OAuth 2.0 or similar authentication protocols for secure access.
  • Restrict API access based on user roles and IP addresses to minimize unauthorized usage.

Protect sensitive data exchanged during test execution:

  • Enable TLS/SSL encryption for all communication between LambdaTest and your test environments.
  • Store sensitive data like test credentials or results in encrypted formats.
  • Use secure cloud storage options provided by LambdaTest for sensitive test artifacts.

Limit access to resources and track user activity:

  • Implement RBAC to define different permission levels for team members using LambdaTest.
  • Enable audit logging to monitor all actions performed in the platform, ensuring traceability and helping in quick incident response.
