Which technique helps identify front-end risks early by continuously integrating code changes and running automated tests?
Answer: Continuous Integration (CI)
CI catches regressions and integration failures immediately after each commit, reducing the cost and risk of late-stage defects.
A product team learns that browser vendor X will drop support for a CSS feature your app relies on in 6 months. This is an example of which risk category?
Answer: Obsolescence / technology risk
Technology obsolescence risk arises when a platform or feature you depend on is deprecated or removed by its maintainer.
When assessing risk severity, a 5×5 risk matrix plots risks based on which two dimensions?
Answer: Probability and impact
A standard risk matrix rates each risk on likelihood of occurrence (probability) and severity of consequences (impact).
Your SPA relies on a CDN to serve static assets. What risk should you plan a contingency for?
Answer: CDN outage making the app inaccessible to all users simultaneously
A CDN failure can instantly make your entire front-end unavailable, so an origin fallback or multi-CDN strategy should be in place.
Which OWASP category most directly represents the risk of including outdated JavaScript libraries with known vulnerabilities?
Answer: A06: Vulnerable and Outdated Components
OWASP A06 specifically addresses the risk of using components (including front-end libraries) with known security flaws.
A canary deployment releases a new front-end version to 5% of users before a full rollout. This strategy is an example of:
Answer: Risk reduction through staged rollout
Staged rollout limits blast radius—if the new version has defects, only a small fraction of users are affected before you can halt or fix.
Which browser security header directly mitigates the risk of clickjacking attacks on a front-end application?
Answer: X-Frame-Options
X-Frame-Options (or the frame-ancestors CSP directive) prevents your pages from being embedded in malicious iframes used for clickjacking.
