Compliance Testing Practice Exam

About Compliance Testing
Compliance testing, also known as conformance testing, is a type of software testing to determine whether a software product, process, computer program, or system meets a defined set of internal or external standards before it’s released into production.  

Internal standards are standards set by an organization. For example, a web application development company might set the standard that all web pages are required to be responsive.

External standards are industry standards or regulations set outside an organization. For example, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) have established regulations for the health care industry.

Why is Compliance Testing important?
At a basic level, monitoring ensures that your organization’s operations are happening and working as they should. More broadly, it can identify any areas of noncompliance, whether with internal policies or external regulations – and whether accidental or intentional.

By documenting the existence of a process, monitoring can help an organization to evidence that correct procedures are the norm and that they are usually robust in enforcing them – therefore helping to mitigate the negative impact should any non-compliances slip through the net.
