COMPLETE REAL VERIFIED EXAM QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS)
ALREADY GRADED A+ / NEWEST EXAM!!!
What happens during a dynamic code review?
Programmers monitor system memory, functional
behavior, response times, and overall performance.
Customers perform tests to check software meets
requirements.
An analysis of computer programs without executing them
is performed.
Input fields are supplied with unexpected input and tested.
- Answer-Programmers monitor system memory, functional
behavior, response times, and overall performance.
How should you store your application user credentials in
your application database?
Use application logic to encrypt credentials
Store credentials as clear text
Store credentials using Base 64 encoded
Store credentials using salted hashes - Answer-Store
credentials using salted hashes

Hashing is a one-way process that converts a password to
ciphertext using hash algorithms. Password salting adds
random characters before or after a password prior to
hashing to obfuscate the actual password.
Which software methodology resembles an assembly-line
approach?
V-model
Agile model
Iterative model
Waterfall model - Answer-Waterfall model
Waterfall model is a continuous software development
model in which the development steps flow steadily
downwards.
What are the two common best principles of software
applications in the development process? Choose 2
answers.
Quality code
Secure code
Information security

Integrity
Availability - Answer-Quality code
Secure code
"Quality code" is correct. Quality code is efficient code that
is easy to maintain and reusable.
"Secure code" is correct. Secure code authorizes and
authenticates every user transaction, logs the transaction,
and denies all unauthorized requisitions.
What ensures that the user has the appropriate role and
privilege to view data?
Authentication
Multi-factor authentication
Encryption
Information security
Authorization - Answer-Authorization
Authorization ensures a user's information and credentials
are approved by the system.

Which security goal is defined by "guarding against
improper information modification or destruction and
ensuring information non-repudiation and authenticity"?
Integrity
Quality
Availability
Reliability - Answer-Integrity
The data must remain unchanged by unauthorized users
and remain reliable from the data entry point to the
database and back.
Which phase in an SDLC helps to define the problem and
scope of any existing systems and determine the
objectives of new systems?
Requirements
Design
Planning
Testing - Answer-Planning
The planning stage sets the project schedule and looks at
the big picture.
