ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
While designing a security test plan for a new payroll application, the QA lead creates a set of tests to confirm that only users in the "Payroll Admin" role can modify salary data and that failed log-in attempts are locked after three tries. Which category of security testing do these tests exemplify?
These tests target specific security controls-role-based access control and account lockout-checking that they enforce the intended protection logic. Such tests validate individual security functions and are therefore examples of functional security testing. Reliability, stress, and usability testing are nonfunctional activities focused on attributes like availability, performance under load, or user experience, not on the correctness of security features themselves.
