Certificate of Cloud Auditing Knowledge (CCAK) — Question 39

To ensure that integration of security testing is implemented on large code sets in environments where time to completion is critical, what form of validation should an auditor expect?

Answer options

• A. Parallel testing
• B. Full application stack unit testing
• C. Regression testing
• D. Functional verification

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Parallel testing allows for the simultaneous execution of security tests across multiple code segments, making it efficient for large codebases under tight deadlines. The other options, while important in their own right, do not focus on the specific need for speed and efficiency in this context, making them less suitable for the given scenario.
