English question
2. Visualisation du détail d'une vulnérabilité
Le détail d'une vulnérabilité permet d'avoir dans le meilleur des cas les informations suivantes :
info1
info2
info3
2. Displaying the details pertaining to a vulnerability
In the best case, the vulnerability details comprise the following information:
Is there a better way to translate "dans le meilleur des cas "? I wasn't too keen on using "best case scenario," it just seemed that there was another option, but "in the best case" seems strange.
TIA for any pointers/suggestions. (this is for technical writing, so there is great freedom with word changes)
