Which statement about Static Testing is TRUE?
Which statement about Static Testing is TRUE?
Static testing can be applied to any work product that participants know how to read and understand. It involves reviewing documents and other work products without executing the code, to find errors, omissions, and inconsistencies. This type of testing can be applied at any stage, and not just to final work products that have been signed off, nor does it involve executing code to verify functionality.
The correct answer is A, do not confuse static testing with static analysis. The first one is about reviewing any test object that doesn't involve executing code. The second one is about analyzing the code with a tool for things like syntax errors, variables not being used, security flaws, etc, which also involves not executing the code
