Module 9: Static and Dynamic Application Security Testing (SAST & DAST)
What is a limitation of DAST compared to SAST? Response: A. DAST can only test static parts of the application B. DAST cannot identify vulnerabilities in the source code not executed during the test C. DAST is more effective at finding vulnerabilities in non-web applications D. DAST replaces all other testing methods Why is it important to integrate SAST in the early stages of development? Response: A. To increase the time it takes to detect vulnerabilities B. To detect vulnerabilities early and reduce the cost of fixing them C. SAST is less effective in the early stages D. To focus only on final testing stages How can combining SAST and DAST improve application security? Response: A. By focusing only on post-deployment testing B. It creates redundancies that increase vulnerability C. By providing a comprehensive view of both static code vulnerabilities and runtime issues D. Combining these tests is discouraged in modern development practices What advantage does DAST provide when...
