A detection engineer has written a new Splunk search that detects unusual outbound traffic. They want to automate testing to ensure the search syntax is valid and that it returns expected results on a sample dataset. Which testing approach should they use?

Use a CI pipeline that runs the search against a test index and compares the results to expected output.

Use a manual review by a senior analyst.

Use a linter that checks the search syntax only.

Use a unit test that only checks the search string is non-empty.
