Description

Verify that business logic flows require realistic human timing, preventing
excessively rapid transaction submissions.

I have few questions:

  1. Is realistic human timing is defined anywhere?
  2. How this is testable?
  3. How application react when the tests(E2E, etc) are runs through CI/CD automation?

Research direction

Read the quoted 2.4.2 requirement and the raw Markdown files in the ASVS 5.0 tree, using the referenced requirement links as the documentation entry point. Clarify what “realistic human timing” means, how it can be tested, and how CI/CD automation should be handled; done means the requirement and testing guidance are unambiguous.
