CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 196

Which of the following involves the inclusion of code in the main codebase as soon as it is written?

Answer options

• A. Continuous monitoring
• B. Continuous deployment
• C. Continuous validation
• D. Continuous integration

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Continuous integration is the practice of merging code changes into the main codebase frequently, allowing for immediate testing and feedback. Continuous monitoring refers to ongoing oversight of systems, while continuous deployment is about automatically releasing code to production, and continuous validation focuses on verifying code functionality. Therefore, only continuous integration directly pertains to the prompt's requirement.
