Web Application penetration testing (WAPT) is a security assessment used to evaluate the security posture of web applications. The primary objective of web application penetration testing is to identify vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and security flaws that could be exploited by attackers to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the application and its associated data.

Web application penetration testing is an iterative process that should be performed regularly, especially after significant changes to the application or its environment. It helps organizations identify and remediate security weaknesses before they can be exploited by malicious actors, thereby enhancing the overall security posture of the web application.
