code-execution testing, black-box testing, and non-functional testing, are part of the validation process. Therefore, it’s B

Its validation

The tasks described by the software developer, including code-execution testing, black-box testing, and non-functional testing, are part of: B. Validation. Validation involves evaluating software to ensure that it meets the requirements and expectations of stakeholders. This includes testing the functionality, performance, and usability of the software to verify that it performs as intended and meets the needs of users. The tasks mentioned, such as code-execution testing (ensuring the code executes correctly), black-box testing (testing the functionality without knowledge of the internal workings), and non-functional testing (testing aspects like performance, security, and usability), all contribute to the validation process by confirming that the software behaves correctly and satisfies the specified requirements.

i thought D first but B looks betters

B. Validation The question asks for the task. The tests listed in the question are taking on the task of validating the software during the staging phase of the software development cycle. It’s a trick question.

B. Validation. Code-execution testing, black-box testing, and non-functional testing are all types of validation techniques that assess the functionality, usability and performance of the software.

B validation. While Staging it's a part of the testing process, it doesn't encompass all the types of testing mentioned (code-execution, black-box, non-functional).

B. Validation In the Waterfall Software development methodology there is a Testing/Validation stage. - Find defects in the software - Does the software meet the intended purpose? - Functional and non-functional testing - Execute the software as part of testing.

I haven’t seen one question on validation and as someone who’s taken a software engineering class I don’t ever recall validation being a step itself.

Validation

If we read the question in parts the "non-functional testing" doesn't fit the staging step cause at this point you are just about ready to deploy the product so QA will use "real world environment standards" to test the product. so I think D can be crossed out as an option. Verification is more like checking if the product or patch is working as intended. Normalization doesn't fit for this question so that's out too. That leaves us with Validation being the answer. So my answer is B

Code Validation

D is correct

Going with D

Staging moves the code from the developers’ computers onto servers, bringing the product closer to deployment, but with controls to do critical testing. Non-functional testing tests everything outside the primary function of the code. This includes security testing and performance testing. Black-box testing separates the tester from the source code. The tester inserts inputs and checks the outputs, looking for weaknesses or flaws. Staging often employs sandboxing, the use of virtual machines (VMs) to enable aggressive testing of the application without risking any problems with the rest of the network. -Mike Meyers' Security+ SY0-601 Certification Guide Third Edition
