During a security assessment strategy meeting, a security analyst suggests implementing a specific testing approach that focuses on unexpected system interactions and negative scenarios. Which testing methodology is being described?

Misuse case testing

Misuse case testing is a methodology that examines how systems can be intentionally or unintentionally abused by exploring negative scenarios and unexpected interactions. This approach differs from traditional use cases by specifically focusing on potential exploit vectors and problematic usage patterns rather than legitimate functionality. Security professionals leverage misuse case testing to identify vulnerabilities that might remain hidden during conventional testing approaches by adopting an adversarial mindset. This methodology helps organizations strengthen their security posture by uncovering potential attack vectors before they can be exploited by malicious actors.
