What is the primary purpose of coverage analysis in security testing?
To determine the cost-effectiveness of penetration testing
To identify which parts of an application or system have not been tested
To measure the speed at which security tests can be completed
To calculate the number of vulnerabilities found per line of code
Coverage analysis is a security control testing technique that measures how much of a system or application's code, components, or features have been examined during testing. The primary purpose is to identify untested areas and ensure comprehensive test coverage. This helps security professionals discover gaps in the testing process where vulnerabilities might exist but haven't been checked. By understanding which aspects of the system have been tested, organizations can make more informed decisions about the security posture of their applications and systems. Without proper coverage analysis, critical sections of code or functionality might remain untested, potentially harboring security vulnerabilities.
