CompTIA PenTest+ (PT1-002) — Question 30
Which of the following would MOST likely be included in the final report of a static application-security test that was written with a team of application developers as the intended audience?
Answer options
- A. Executive summary of the penetration-testing methods used
- B. Bill of materials including supplies, subcontracts, and costs incurred during assessment
- C. Quantitative impact assessments given a successful software compromise
- D. Code context for instances of unsafe type-casting operations
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer, D, is relevant because it provides developers with specific insights into the code issues that need addressing. Options A and C focus on broader testing and impact assessments which are less relevant to the immediate needs of developers, while B pertains to logistical details not typically required in a security report aimed at developers.
