Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 982

Which of the following tests would BEST indicate that a software development project is ready to be deployed into the production environment?

Answer options

• A. Performance
• B. Parallel
• C. Unit
• D. Quality assurance (QA)

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Quality assurance (QA) testing is essential as it evaluates the software against requirements and ensures it meets the necessary standards for deployment. Performance, Parallel, and Unit tests, while important, do not provide a comprehensive assessment of the software's readiness for production, which is why they are not the best indicators.
