   A team is testing a new authentication service. They want to verify that the service handles unexpected input gracefully, such as malformed tokens and out-of-range values, without crashing or exposing sensitive data. The service is already deployed in a test environment. Which dynamic analysis technique is most appropriate?

   • AUse a performance testing tool to measure the service's response time under normal load.
   • BRun a static analysis tool to scan the source code for input validation logic.
   • CConduct a code review focused on the authentication module's error handling.
   • DPerform fault injection by sending malformed tokens and boundary values to the service's API.

   A test analyst is working on a project where the development team has just completed coding a new feature. The feature is complex and involves multiple components. The analyst wants to identify defects related to resource leaks and concurrency issues, which are difficult to find through code review alone. The feature is ready for execution in a test environment. Which activity should the analyst prioritize?

   • AConduct a detailed code review of the feature, focusing on resource management.
   • BDefer analysis until the feature is integrated and run a full system test.
   • CRun a static analysis tool to check for coding standard violations.
   • DRun a memory analysis tool while executing the feature under a stress test.
