CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 179

A cloud administrator is reviewing a new application implementation document. The administrator needs to make sure all the known bugs and fixes are applied, and unwanted ports and services are disabled. Which of the following techniques would BEST help the administrator assess these business requirements?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Vulnerability testing is the most suitable technique because it focuses on identifying security weaknesses, including open ports and services, as well as bugs that could be exploited. Performance testing evaluates speed and efficiency, usability testing assesses user experience, and regression testing ensures that new changes don't break existing functionality, but none directly address security vulnerabilities.
