Q

What is the term used to describe the first type of testing that is done by developers?

A

Unit Testing

19
Q

What type of testing is performed immediately before deployment?

A

Formal Acceptance Testing

20
Q

Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A

During coding it is imperative that secure coding standards and guidelines are strictly adhered to in order to prevent known high-risk vulnerabilities.

21
Q

Which of the following does NOT enhance the security environment in software development?

A

Tainted Input Data

22
Q

Why is security important in ensuring safe software is developed?

A

Security in software development forms one of the main foundation pillars for successful software. Security ensures the designing, building and testing the software is done in a proactive manner that enables the software to prevent problems and attacks automatically.

23
Q

The earliest stage at which security should be factored into the development of safe software is the _____ stage.

A

This entails defining the general details and scope of the software. The scope of the project will be key in determining the most common threats and associated vulnerabilities that need to be protected against.

answer: planning

24
Q

At which stage is Static Code Analysis important?

A

Maintenance phase always involves tweaking old code and adding new code. As such an initial code quality and secure baseline are established post development. Static tools are used to constantly scan new/edited code using the baseline to resolve any consequent issues.

answer: maintenance

25
Q

Which of the following software development processes follows a linear sequence from initiation and conception to maintenance?

A

Waterfall

26
Q

What is an operating system?

A

A software layer to create an environment for programmers

27
Q

Vulnerability Scanning involves _____.

A

scanning for open ports and network enumeration tests.

28
Q

Which of the following statement is FALSE with regards to the importance of Software Security Testing?

A

It gathers basic information about the software and its structures.

29
