Unified AppSec + Testing: Security Without Slowdowns

Your tests called—they’re tired of getting blocked. 

If you’re building mobile apps at enterprise scale, you already know the frustration: your team works tirelessly to automate performance, functional, and accessibility tests—only to hit a wall the moment your app is hardened. The very protections that keep your app safe from reverse engineering and tampering end up locking out your own automation frameworks. Suddenly, your app shuts down mid-test, your workflow grinds to a halt, and you’re forced to choose between testing an unhardened (and unprotected) build or duplicating effort and risk across multiple versions. Neither is a path to innovation. 

You shouldn’t have to compromise. Start redefining what’s possible by uniting Application Security and Testing so you can run automated quality tests seamlessly on fully protected apps. No more broken flows. No more wasted cycles. Just secure, high-quality releases delivered at enterprise speed. 

Discover how an integrated approach empowers your teams to keep tests automated, apps secure, and schedules on track—proving that when AppSec and Continuous Testing work together, everyone wins. 

The Enterprise Reality: Why Integration Matters Now 

It’s clear that market demand for mobile apps shows no signs of stopping any time soon. With nearly 5 million apps available between the Google Play and Apple app stores, consumers know what they want: apps that are convenient, fun, and reliable. According to recent data, the average consumer uses 10 mobile apps per day and 30 apps per month. 

But convenience is only part of the story. The pace of app development is accelerating, with release cycles growing shorter to keep up with competitive pressure and rapidly shifting user expectations. As mobile apps become more sophisticated, teams face a delicate balancing act: ensuring robust protection against threats without compromising the speed or effectiveness of their testing processes. 

Moreover, security and testing that are just “good enough” are no longer sufficient. Modern threats have evolved, leveraging AI-driven techniques for both offensive and defensive purposes. Attackers now use AI-assisted analysis to uncover vulnerabilities and automate sophisticated threat generation, while users expect an uninterrupted, secure experience with every update. Enterprises can’t afford to fall behind: manual workarounds, fragmented testing, or reactive security put both their apps and their reputations at risk. 

Harden. Test. Ship. Repeat. 

Start delivering enterprise-grade software by combining application security and continuous testing into a single, automated workflow. The Quick Protect Agent integrates directly into your build process with minimal setup, providing robust protection against a wide range of attacks right from the start. Digital.ai Testing enables reliable validation across iOS, Android, and all major browsers—on cloud-based or on-premises devices—helping teams catch bugs early, ensure stability, and maintain exceptional software quality as apps evolve. 

Setup is fast and unified: 

1. Run the Quick Protect Agent to your build environment.
2. Use a single command to integrate app protection into your CI/CD pipeline.
3. Enable a command line flag to enable quality testing on hardened apps.

Turn Continuous Security into Continuous Advantage 

By integrating automated security and comprehensive testing into their CI/CD workflows, enterprise teams using Digital.ai can eliminate the costly and time-consuming back-and-forth between building, hardening, and validating applications, all while proactively addressing critical threats identified by industry standards like OWASP MASVS. Security protections are now automatically applied during the build, freeing teams to focus on innovation rather than managing separate secure and test environments or retrofitting security after the fact. 

With all safeguards fully active during functional and performance testing, enterprises can release robust, production-ready software faster and with greater confidence—helping them outpace competitors and respond more quickly to market demands. This unification of protection and testing not only streamlines release cycles but also ensures that security, quality, and speed are achieved together rather than in trade-offs. 

Stop testing around security. Harden once, test continuously, ship faster—no split builds, no broken flows. Add the Quick Protect Agent to your pipeline, enable the testing flag, and prove it on one critical flow this sprint. When protection and quality run as one, rework drops, release risk shrinks, and you deliver the secure, high-performing apps your customers expect.
