N2 - Web applications security testing is becoming a highly challenging task. A number of approaches have been proposed to deal with such a challenge. However, up to date criteria that could be used to aid practitioners in selecting appropriate approaches suitable for their particular effort do not exist. In this paper we present a set of attributes to serve as criteria for classifying and comparing these approaches and provide such aid to practitioners. The set of attributes is also meant to guide researchers interested in proposing new security testing approaches. The paper discusses a number of representative approaches against the criteria.
