The Old Way: Hope-Driven Security
Traditionally, testing WAF rules has been a nerve-wracking experience:
– Push rules to production in monitor mode
– Wait anxiously for days to spot issues
– Hope nothing breaks while you wait
– Struggle to simulate sophisticated attacks and edge cases
– Cross your fingers and promote to blocking mode
The Better Way: Test-Driven Security
WAF Rule Tester brings confidence and speed to WAF management through powerful test cases that let you:
– Validate rules against synthetic HTTP traffic in seconds, not days
– Simulate complex scenarios including business logic attacks
– Test rule interactions and chain effects
– Verify blocking, rate limiting, and detection behaviors
– Integrate WAF testing directly into your CI/CD pipeline
How It Works
1. Define your test case with synthetic HTTP requests/responses
2. Configure your expected behaviors and assertions
3. Run the test and get results in seconds
4. Deploy with confidence knowing exactly how your rules will behave
