Stop treating OWASP Top 10 as a checklist and start using it as a threat model.
Pro-tip: Focus on business logic flaws; automated scanners miss what your architectural context catches every single time. Stay vigilant.
Testing web apps? The OWASP Top 10 is your essential guide. But pro-tip: Don't treat vuln testing as a one-off event. Integrate it *continuously* throughout your SDLC. Catch issues early, save major headaches later!
