Code Review — CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-003) Practice Questions
Code review is the practice of manually or automatically inspecting source code to identify security vulnerabilities, logic errors, and non-compliant patterns before software is deployed. The CySA+ exam covers both manual analysis techniques and the use of Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools that automate the identification of common flaw types. Analysts involved in DevSecOps pipelines may triage SAST findings, prioritize remediation, and verify that developers have addressed reported issues. Understanding code review findings helps analysts connect vulnerability reports to root causes and recommend systemic fixes.
