The Mobile Top 10 is a starting point for discussing common risks, not an exhaustive acceptance standard for every application.
Evaluation approach
Use it to inform threat modeling. Identify your data and transactions, then convert relevant risks into concrete tests. A category name in a report is not technical verification.
Application example
A team may begin with authentication and storage but also needs business-specific scenarios such as duplicated coupons or replayed transactions that broad categories do not describe in detail.
Limits and considerations
The ranking does not directly represent your organization's loss probabilities. Identify the edition instead of presenting an older list as current.
Checks and decisions
- Name the reference version
- Add business-specific scenarios
- Attach measurable tests
Use the list for awareness and base release approval on detailed requirements, tests and risk-acceptance records.
