Web security issues play an important role in the development of real life web systems. Malicious attacks of the web based systems, usually, inflect damages and losses in finance capitals and may, even, compromise the reputation of those institutes under attack. Web security issues include Buffer overflow, Cookie poisoning, SQL injection, Cross Site Scripting, Bypass Restrictions on Input Choices, CGI Parameters and Hidden field manipulation. Those vulnerabilities can be discovered by applying software testing techniques. The discovery of vulnerability in given software, would, normally, assist in rectifying the software as well as adjusting the design and implementation for better practice to avoid such vulnerability. Generally, white box testing techniques are adopted to expose these types of vulnerabilities. Software testing techniques are adopted, not only, to guarantee certain level of fault coverage, but also, to ensure security of the programs
