Abstract

A set of challenges of developing secure software using the agile development approach and methods are reported in the literature. This paper reports about a systematic literature review to identify these challenges and evaluate the causes of each of these challenges, with respect to the agile values, the agile principles, and the security assurance practices. The authors identified in this study 20 challenges, which are reported in 28 publications. They found that 14 of these challenges are valid and 6 are neither caused by agile values and principles, nor by the security assurance practices. The authors also found that 2 of the valid challenges are related to the software development life-cycle, 4 are related to incremental development, 4 are related to security assurance, 2 are related to awareness and collaboration, and 2 are related to security management. These results justify the need for research to make developing secure software smooth.
