CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 238

A software development manager is taking over an existing software development project. The team currently suffers from poor communication due to a long delay between requirements documentation and feature delivery. This gap is resulting in an above average number of security-related bugs making it into production.
Which of the following development methodologies is the team MOST likely using now?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Waterfall, because it is a linear and sequential development methodology where each phase must be completed before moving to the next, often leading to communication lags. Agile, Scrum, and Spiral methodologies promote iterative development and frequent communication, which would likely reduce the gaps leading to security bugs.
