LaTonya is reviewing her new application's code for potential flaws before release and wants to find logical errors, missed checks, and hidden secrets without launching the application. Which method is best for identifying these vulnerabilities prior to running the application?
Using an intercepting proxy to capture traffic while the application runs
Testing the user interface by inputting different parameters to trigger exceptions
Using specialized tools that inspect syntax, calls, and data flows prior to runtime
Deploying the code in a container and analyzing active processes using a network scanner
Reviewing and analyzing source code without running the application helps identify design flaws, logic oversights, and unsafe coding practices. By focusing on code at rest, it reveals issues such as insecure function calls and missing validation. The other approaches rely on active testing while the application runs, which can overlook early exposure of coding errors.
