What is OWASP ASVS?

The OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS) is a project of the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) that provides a framework of security requirements that can be used to design, develop, and test web applications and services. It provides a basis for testing web application technical security controls and also provides developers with a list of requirements for secure development. The ASVS helps organizations establish a level of confidence in the security of their applications. It is commonly used by software developers, security engineers, and application security testers.
