3 Static Test, Feedback & Review process

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of static testing?

• Having less expensive defect management due to the ease of detecting defects later in the SDLC.
• Fixing defects found during static testing is generally much less expensive than fixing defects found during dynamic testing.
• Finding coding defects that might not have been found by only performing dynamic testing.
• Detecting gaps and inconsistencies in requirements.

Which of the following are types of static Testing ?

• Ad hoc & Perspective-based

• Inspection & Walkthrough

• Review & Static Analysis

• White-Box & Black Box

In which phase static tests are used

• Requirements

• Design

• Coding

• All of the above

Which testing technique would be most effective in determining and improving the maintainability of the code (assuming developers fix what is found)?

• Peer reviews
• Static analysis
• Dynamic testing
• Unit testing

Which of the following statements about static testing is MOST true?

• Static testing is a cheap way to detect and remove defects
• Static testing makes dynamic testing less challenging
• Static testing makes it possible to find run-time problems early in the lifecycle
• When testing safety-critical systems, static testing has less value because dynamic testing finds the defects better

What is the main difference between static and dynamic testing?

• Static testing is performed by developers; dynamic testing is performed by testers
• Manual test cases are used for dynamic testing; automated tests are used for static testing
• Static testing must be executed before dynamic testing
• Dynamic testing requires executing the software; the software is not executed during static testing

Which of the following statements CORRECTLY reflects the value of static testing?

• By introducing reviews, we have found that both the quality of specifications and the time required for development and testing have increased
• Using static testing means we have better control and cheaper defect management due to the ease of detecting defects later in the lifecycle
• Now that we require the use of static analysis, missed requirements have decreased, and communication between testers and developers has improved
• Since we started using static analysis, we find coding defects that might have not been found by performing only dynamic testing

Which of the following software work products would be examined using static analysis techniques? I.Test procedure II. Component code III. Web pages IV. User stories

• I and II
• I, II, III and IV
• I, II, and IV
• II and III

You are reading a user story in the product backlog to prepare for a meeting with the product owner and a developer, noting potential defects as you go. Which of the following statements is true about this activity?

• It is not a static test, because static testing involves the execution of the test object
• It is not a static test, because static testing is always performed using a tool
• It is a static test because any defects you find could be found cheaper during dynamic testing
• It is a static test because static testing does not involve the execution of the test object

Which of the following techniques is a form of static testing?

• Error guessing
• Automated regression testing
• Providing inputs and examining the resulting outputs
• Code review
