CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-002) — Question 266

Which of the following software assessment methods would be best for gathering data related to an application’s availability during peak times?

Answer options

• A. Security regression testing
• B. Stress testing
• C. Static analysis testing
• D. Dynamic analysis testing
• E. User acceptance testing

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Stress testing is designed to assess how an application behaves under extreme conditions, including peak usage times, making it the best choice for evaluating availability. The other methods, such as security regression testing and static analysis testing, focus on different aspects like security or code quality, rather than performance under load.
