Developer training has improved secure coding practices but now needs more advanced challenges
The quiz and the gamification that Codebashing has are the most valuable features or capabilities we have found so far. We have been using it for tournaments, conducting tournaments across the developers to test their knowledge and give them a token of appreciation once any developer has secured a runner up position, first position, and all. It is basically a learning and tournament thing that we provide here with the help of Codebashing. We have been seeing a lot of impact while using Codebashing. Since the vulnerabilities which we identify usually in the code are now less in the trends, the training of Codebashing and learning via Codebashing helps our developers. Codebashing reduces the chances of developers writing vulnerable code rather than writing secure code. It creates an impact on how our developers write code and understand how the vulnerabilities work. Rather than making them understand how the vulnerabilities can be exploited via a practical scenario, Codebashing gives a graphical representation of how and when the flow works, showing how the vulnerabilities work. It gives an impact on that. What we have been seeing is that Codebashing's up-to-date modules have addressed emerging security threats for our organization with the AI trends that we have been using. It allows our developers to make use of secure code AI and not just be relying upon the AI that could produce vulnerable code rather than focusing on the secure code that we can produce with AI and get rid of AI vulnerabilities. That is how it helps.

Security training and detailed code insights have improved our shift-left practices but professional services coordination still needs refinement
There are certain ideas and certain vulnerabilities that you catch, and then it might not get through, and then we pull in under the license availability. There are certain licenses that assure the professional services. Though the team members get in and are sound in knowledge, there are few instances. This is a very corner scenario and I cannot generalize it, but in one specific scenario, it took three or four meetings with them to explain and bring the right person on board, clarify my view, and then they accepted at the very next point. It was kind of a little painful to bring the right person into the discussion. Otherwise, they usually send out developers into it with security knowledge, where I was looking for a security person who understands the core ideology of these vulnerabilities. That is one challenge I had with their professional service.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The kind of remediation that Codebashing trains developers on is outstanding, as it relates developers to real-life use cases."
"There are lots of great plugins available."
"There's a lot of flexibility and there are a lot of configuration options."
"The most important aspect of Codebashing, in my opinion, is the gamification advantage. When compared to competitors' offerings, the most significant thing to emphasize is gamification. The rest is similar to the competitors."
"This solution has an interactive approach that allows you to quickly receive basic knowledge about vulnerabilities and how they should be fixed."
"The most valuable feature is that you get the security from the design of the training, as it ensures our developers write code securely and effectively so they will not write code that is vulnerable to hackers."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with WhiteSource, which allows for open-source scanning."
"This solution has an interactive approach that allows you to quickly receive basic knowledge about vulnerabilities and how they should be fixed."
"Knowledge of how to write a secure application, like OWASP ASVS 4.0, that is spread across the web is gathered into one place."
"Veracode gives us a comprehensive analysis and reporting structure."
"They put together a complete solution that has a number of components."
"The best part is that this is all within the web browser, so the developer doesn't have to install any development environments or download anything to work through the training."
"It provides a complete review of vulnerabilities & possible fixes for OWASP Top 10 in one place."
"Veracode Security Labs is very good for providing examples of code vulnerabilities in a developer’s chosen language. This is important because if a flaw is found, then they provide me with a few examples of how to implement it. I don't need to go to Google and try to figure it out myself. They already provide me with some good quality examples that I can use to implement the fix."
"The coding challenges were well put together and I was happy to see some of the challenges even had a built-in web browser."
"The features are so extensive, which is why they are ahead of the game, and the reason I continue to use this solution."
 

Cons

"From my perspective, Codebashing might use some enhancement. Clients should be able to handle their tests directly according to their needs. That aspect of Codebashing is currently inflexible. Customers would wish to sign, compile, or manage their tests in accordance with their requirements. It is just not possible."
"There are some lacking vulnerabilities in Codebashing platform itself, making it both advantageous and disadvantageous."
"For me being a security professional, the trainings that we did and the questions we did were comparatively a low hanging fruit and seemed very easy for us."
"I believe that certificates should be issued to users so that they can be used as proof of having completed that training. The certificate is currently not being used for any competence validation outside of the chance environment."
"I think the video content of Codebashing can be improved and should be updated regularly, as we currently see minimal updates in terms of real-time vulnerabilities."
"The solution should make the configuration more simple. Sometimes the configuration is complex."
"I believe that certificates should be issued to users so that they can be used as proof of having completed that training."
"The solution should make the configuration more simple. Sometimes the configuration is complex."
"Developers frequently complain to me about the user interface and the difficulty in navigating the web site."
"The only area of this solution that needs improvement is the pricing for startups."
"Veracode Security Labs should cover more than only the OWASP Top 10."
"It would be good if there were more assignment problems in the inventory, as well as more randomness in the coding examples."
"There could be better integration between the API and the pipeline systems."
"I would like the team to make users like me aware of the new features sooner, so we can get the most from this product."
"Veracode Security Labs should cover more than only the OWASP Top 10."
"Developers frequently complain to me about the user interface and the difficulty in navigating the web site."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As a developer, though I am unaware of the cost of the solution, the product is expensive since I faced some trouble upgrading to Python for Codebashing."
"I would prefer it if their pricing would be a bit cheaper. This is not my personal comment, this is the comment of the market."
"Licenses are renewed annually."
"This solution is not freeware and more expensive than similar products."
"They have a Community Edition of this product that can be used free of charge."
"It's expensive. Know that going in. Your organization, your programmers, and your product will be better for it though."
"The pricing for qualified startups should only charge for Veracode Developer Training."
