Interactive Apps

When an app can accept user inputs and use those inputs to create specialized output, it is considered an interactive app. Many of the interactive applications originated to meet a need for regulatory compliance in the US. Therefore, they are designed to not only be a supporting technical tool–performing calculations–but also to document that a technical analysis was completed.

“Even if” analyses are useful to dismiss threats or otherwise document why an issue is irrelevant or insignificant to a risk assessment. It is performed by identifying worst-case, often unrealistic inputs and demonstrating that, even if such conditions existed, the issue would still be irrelevant/insignificant.
