Abstract

In this poster we introduce an ongoing empirical study on the effects of using predominant security issues along with agile methodologies. As part of this empirical study, current security issues related to and applicable to agile methodologies such as Scrum, XP, and FDD and their effects are discussed. The purpose of this poster is to present an introduction to this ongoing effort and to present our analysis of the issues which are important factors in our forthcoming results which underscores the gap in the literature. The analysis will include experiments, semi-structured interviews, and surveys that seek to gather relevant objective and subjective information about projects and experiments in order to arrive at a consensus on which issues need to be included or emphasized as part of agile to provide adequate security assurance.
