Popis: Due to the complexity of modern web applications, security testing is a time-consuming process that heavily relies on manual interaction with various analysis tools. This process often needs to be repeated for newer versions of previously tested applications, as new functionalities frequently introduce security vulnerabilities. This paper introduces scrooge, a tool that automates change detection in web application functionality to enhance the efficiency and focus of the security testing process. We evaluate scrooge on various platforms, demonstrating its ability to reliably detect a range of changes. Scrooge successfully identifies different types of changes, showcasing its applicability across diverse scenarios with high accuracy.
