ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
A development team is drafting the security test plan for a new web application. Management wants quantitative evidence that the encryption controls added during the last sprint will not slow page responses during peak loads. Which category of security testing should be included to satisfy this requirement?
Nonfunctional security testing focuses on qualities of the system that are not tied to specific features, such as performance, scalability, and reliability. Measuring the latency or throughput impact of new encryption code during high-traffic conditions is therefore a nonfunctional objective. Functional security testing would verify that encryption works correctly, while acceptance testing and white-box unit testing are neither intended nor scoped to collect system-wide performance metrics.
