Non-incremental integration testing (often referred to as Big Bang) integrates all components at once, making it challenging to isolate defects since everything is tested together. This can lead to prolonged debugging sessions.

Test Monitoring refers to the continuous monitoring of the testing process. It involves evaluating the progress of testing against the objectives set and making necessary adjustments to ensure the testing aligns with the set plan and objectives.

In Agile methodologies, an Agile Tester closely collaborates with developers and other stakeholders to ensure that requirements are clear and testable. They provide immediate feedback, contribute to user story refinement, and ensure that testing considerations are included from the beginning of the development cycle.

In exploratory testing, a "Test Charter" is used to provide guidance on what areas or functionalities to test. While it offers direction, it still allows testers the freedom to explore and adapt their testing as they proceed.

The "Scope" section of a test plan defines what is subject to testing, which can include features, modules, or functionalities. It sets the boundaries and clarifies what is to be tested and what is not.

The "Test Execution" phase of the STLC is where the actual testing occurs. During this phase, the test cases are executed against the software. Any deviations from the expected results are reported as defects. This is a critical phase, as it uncovers the defects before the software is released.

Integrating automated testing into Continuous Integration ensures that any change to the software is automatically tested, ensuring that the software is always in a deployable state. It provides quick feedback to developers and reduces the time to release new updates.

Vulnerability scanning is used to identify potential vulnerabilities in system configurations, software, and applications. It does not involve accessing sensitive company information like employee salaries. The main goal is to highlight technical flaws and offer insights into potential areas of improvement.

Prioritizing fixing broken builds ensures that whenever a build breaks, it becomes the top priority for the team to address. By resolving build issues immediately, it reduces the chances of compounded issues later on. This practice creates a culture of accountability and immediate feedback, ensuring that the CI/CD process remains smooth and that broken builds are addressed promptly.

SQL Injection is a type of vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code into an application, thereby gaining unauthorized access to a database and fetching/altering its contents. While XSS and Buffer Overflows are vulnerabilities, they aren't typically associated with direct data injection into databases.

A Brute Force Attack involves cybercriminals systematically attempting all possible combinations of passwords or encryption keys until the correct one is found. Through security testing, repeated failed login attempts or unusual system calls can be detected, signifying potential brute force attempts.

Interface Testing specifically focuses on ensuring that the interfaces or interactions between units or components work correctly. This includes checking data flow, error conditions, and coordination processes between interconnected modules.
