Abstract
This speculative paper outlines an untested idea: it superficially compares security testing with usability testing. Looking for analogies between these fields may seem far-fetched, but the result is surprising. When it comes to testing, usability and security may be not as dissimilar as they seem. A closer look at usability testing may yield new insights for security testing.
