Matt, a developer, recently attended a workshop on a new application. The developer installs the new application on a production system to test the functionality. Which of the following is MOST likely affected?
A.
Application design
B.
Application security
C.
Initial baseline configuration
D.
Management of interfaces
The (A) design and (B) security of the APPLICATION will not change by virtue of Matt installing said application in a live Production Environment.
Conversely, (D) Management of interfaces the Interfaces shall continue to be the same (Does the app interface with Word, Email, etc.?)
The only thing changing and the most affected will be the “Initial baseline configuration” of the server, which will change by virtue of the fact that Matt installed a new app on a live Production Server
I would personally have a good word with Matt, as it is sheer madness to install an application into a live production server without conducting a risk analysis and speaking to the system’s administrator.
So the correct answer for this (and many other similar questions) should really be: Fire the guy!!
Correct answer: C.Initial baseline configuration
The initial baseline configuration of a computer system is an agreed configuration for the computer.
For example, the initial baseline configuration will list what operating system he computer will run, what software applications and patches will be installed and what configuration settings should be applied to the system.
In this Question, we are installing a new software application on a server.
After the installation of the software, the “configuration” of the server (installed software, settings etc.) is now different from the initial baseline configuration.
