Abstract
We designed a prospective empirical investigation to study our STW (Software Technologies for the Web) course with respect to the training of bachelor students in the context of software security when developing e-commerce Web apps. To that end, we devised the following steps: (i) studying the state of the students enrolled in the STW course in the a.y. (academic year) 2021-22; (ii) defining a training plan for the a.y. 2022-23; and (iii) acting the plan and measuring the differences (if any) between the students of the a.y. 2021-22 and 2022-23. In this idea paper, we present the results of the former two steps, as well as the evaluation strategy of the proposed training plan. We observed that security concerns are widespread in the code of the Web apps the students of the STW course (a.y. 2021-22) developed. Therefore, we plan (second step) to ask the students of the STW course (a.y. 2022-23) to use in their development pipeline a Static Analysis Tool (SAT) to detect security concerns.
