Intro: This section connects the prepare → develop → build → test → deploy → operate model to practical Product Security work. It is intentionally tool-aware and workflow-aware: what belongs in fast developer feedback, what belongs in CI, what still belongs out of band, and how older DevSecOps patterns map to current 2026 practice.
What this page includes
- practical controls for the develop phase;
- a modern stage map that translates older public DevSecOps guidance into current CI/CD, OIDC, artifact-trust, and evidence patterns;
- realistic security testing lanes for the test phase;
- a legacy vs current toolchain map so older books and trainings remain useful without freezing the KB in 2018;
- cross-links into API, CI/CD, cloud, container, and detection sections.

How to use this section
- start with Develop Phase if you need better fast feedback and pre-commit hygiene;
- read Test Phase if you need to place DAST, IAST, fuzzing, and pen testing into the right lanes;
- use Toolchain Practical Map when old courses, old books, or vendor screenshots mention products that have been renamed, retired, or replaced;
- use DevSecOps Stage Map and Modern Pipeline Patterns when you need a clean stage-by-stage control model for GitHub Actions, GitLab, and modern release evidence;
- use DevSecOps Playbook Domains when you need to turn theory into an implementation backlog;
- use DAF / DSOMM when you need to assess where the pipeline and platform currently sit on a maturity curve.
