Application Types & Criteria
Each application assessed in the Tested by Security Innovation program falls into one of three categories: Desktop, Server or Enterprise. For each, a standardized set of test plan criteria serves as the basis for which testing is conducted. These criteria are based on common attacks and vulnerabilities for each application type.
| Type | Description |
| Desktop |
An application that resides on a local machine and is run by a local user. It may communicate with remote components but testing only covers the local component. |
| Server |
An application that resides on a server machine and provides services to one or more remote applications. |
| Enterprise |
An application that consists of multiple components - at least one of which is on a client machine and one of which is on a server machine with components communicating with each other over a network. This test category applies to client/server applications as well as web applications.. |
