Western Governors University (WGU) ITEC2034 D385 Software Security and Testing Practice Test

Two validation aspects are at play here: the input must be an integer, and that integer must lie within the allowed range from 1 to 10. The loop continues only when both conditions are met, so the situation is a combination of a type check (ensuring it's an integer) and a range check (ensuring the value is between 1 and 10, inclusive). This guarantees we don’t accept non-numeric input and we don’t accept numbers outside the permitted bounds. If you only checked the type, you could still end up accepting values like 11 or -3. If you only checked the range, inputs that aren’t integers (like non-numeric strings or decimals) could cause issues or be mishandled during parsing. Therefore, the scenario is best described as a Type and Range check.
