B. Interface testing, in this context, involves testing the web application's user interface to ensure that it behaves as expected and handles user input correctly. In this case, it specifically focuses on testing the user interface elements related to the username field. The objective is to identify how the application responds when user input exceeds the specified character limit for that field. Misuse case testing (A) typically involves testing for known vulnerabilities or specific misuse scenarios. Web session testing (C) involves testing the management and security of user sessions within a web application. Penetration testing (D) is a broader type of testing that involves actively trying to exploit vulnerabilities in the application's security, which is not the primary focus of the described scenario.

Interface testing is a type of testing that is performed to evaluate the functionality of a web application's user interface. It involves testing the various elements of the user interface, such as buttons, fields, and menus, to ensure that they function as intended and that users can interact with the application in the expected way
