CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 106

A DevOps administrator is automating an existing software development workflow. The administrator wants to ensure that prior to any new code going into production, tests confirm the new code does not negatively impact existing automation activities. Which of the following testing techniques would be BEST to use?

Answer options

• A. Usability testing
• B. Regression testing
• C. Vulnerability testing
• D. Penetration testing

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Regression testing is the most suitable technique as it focuses on ensuring that new code changes do not disrupt existing functionalities. Usability testing assesses user experience, vulnerability testing identifies security weaknesses, and penetration testing simulates attacks, but none of these directly address the impact of new code on existing automation processes.
