Defect taxonomies are categorized lists of defects that can be used to identify and prevent common types of errors in software development and testing. They can also be used to design test cases that target specific defect types, such as security vulnerabilities. Therefore, using a list of known defect types to penetrate the security of computer systems is an example of the use of defect taxonomies. References = Defect Taxonomies - The Practical Guide to Defect Prevention (Chapter 10), Using Defect Taxonomies for Testing Requirements, Defect Based Approach using Defect Taxonomy, Requirements-based testing with defect taxonomies

Functional appropriateness is the degree to which a product or system provides functions that meet stated and implied needs when used under specified conditions1. It is typically tested during system testing, which is the process of testing an integrated system to verify that it meets specified requirements2. System testing is conducted after component testing and before acceptance testing, and it covers both functional and non-functional aspects of the system3. References = ISO 25010, section A.1; ISTQB Advanced Level Test Analyst Syllabus 2019, section 1.3.1; Test Automation Fundamentals, section A.1.

Test analysis is the process of analyzing the test basis and defining the test objectives to establish the test conditions. Test conditions are the inputs and outputs that are used to define the scope and goals of testing. Identifying test conditions is one of the main activities of test analysis, as it determines what to test in terms of measurable coverage criteria. The other options are activities that occur during other phases of the test process, such as test planning, test implementation, or test execution. References =
