ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question
A security team is planning to add a new data-validation component to a web application. Following formal change-management procedures, which activity should be performed only in the development environment before the update is promoted to testing?
Perform user-acceptance testing with production-like workloads and data sets.
Validate disaster-recovery and failover procedures in an isolated recovery site.
Integrate the component into the application codebase and execute unit tests with synthetic data.
Monitor the live system for post-deployment performance regressions and user feedback.
The development environment is intended for writing and initially building code. It is where developers integrate new components and conduct unit-level checks with controlled, synthetic data to verify basic functionality and fix obvious defects early. Regression and user-acceptance testing require a separate test environment that more closely mimics production, while disaster-recovery validation and live performance monitoring belong in staging or production after deployment. Conducting those activities in development would provide little value and could introduce unnecessary risk or inaccurate results, so only initial coding and unit testing should occur there.
