Software testing plays a vital role in software security because hackers attack on a system through back channels which they can easily find if there is any error or bug exists in the software. The software security failure can cause the unbearable loss for IT companies and other organizations. Cyber security is another big issue for computer users' personal data as all their information is vulnerable because of easy excess, visibility and availability. Therefore, software testing is also useful to secure the personal information. In this article, cyber security testing based on particle swam optimization algorithm (CST) is proposed for testing of software cyber security testing. CSTPSOA is a PSO base technique which is used to solve the complex multi-level problems and is also used for optimization. In the CST method PSO is used for the optimization of test cases for cyber security testing.
