I attended a security conference recently and some of the guys there had
a speech about "PTES" which means "Penetration Testing Execution
Standard". They want to establish another kind of methodology for
penetration testing, since they realized that there is quite a lot of
confusion and a lack of good standards in this area (my interpretation).

They're building this thing right now and generally appreciate feedback
on this. You can find PTES here:

Could be interesting to you.
