Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 1082

When reviewing the acquisition for a new application, which of the following is MOST important to ensure was included in the request for proposal (RFP) process?

Answer options

• A. User acceptance testing (UAT) plan
• B. Vendor financial stability
• C. Vendor key performance indicators (KPIs)
• D. System development methodology

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The User Acceptance Testing (UAT) plan is crucial because it ensures that the application meets the end-users' needs before it goes live. While vendor financial stability, KPIs, and system development methodology are important considerations, they do not directly address how well the application will perform in real-world scenarios from the user's perspective.
