CompTIA Cloud+ (CV1-003) — Question 13

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 best technique for this scenario as it focuses on identifying security weaknesses, including open ports and services, and ensuring that all known bugs are addressed. Performance testing evaluates application speed and responsiveness, usability testing assesses user experience, and regression testing checks for new bugs after changes, but none of these directly ensure that unwanted ports and services are disabled.
