Hi, We would like to understand to what extent SAST , DAST are feasible on power platform and which third party tools can be leveraged.Our development team is planning a new project on power apps for building a customer website but since we have limited knowhow of Power Platform w.r.t Non Functional Testing unable to comprehend what level of non functional testing support we can provide and which tools outside Microsoft ecosystem can be used here. Please help.

    Hello,

     

    This is a good but very deep question. First let me give you this Power Platform security FAQs - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn

     

    Now there are unfortunately many factors when you are talking about Power Apps / Power Platform.

    1. Are you going Canvas or Model driven apps

    2. Are you building any components / pcf

    3. Are you building plugins (real code), workflows and so on

    4. What roles are you using, what groups, are you linking to AAD from Dataverse and again a large list.

    5. Are you using 3rd party connectors

    6. Are you integrating with Data Lake / Other / SQL etc / OnPrem / Gateways / Functions / Web Services etc etc

    7. What is your total eco system looking like

    ... and a long list 😞

     

    To my knowledge there are some possible SAST / DAST but I am not aware of any specific Microsoft ones, and I don't know which ones would be best to recommend.


    Cheers

    Thanks for the reply! Based on the limited information we have it'll be a complex UI developed using power pages and dataverse in the back end.Apologies for the generic query but intention is to understand whether Microsoft platform restricts use of 3rd party tools , which tools are proven to be successful for Security testing and to what extent.
