Answer» Static and Dynamic testing differ in the following ways:
| Static Testing | Dynamic Testing |
|---|
| In static testing, software applications are tested without executing any code at the very beginning of the SDLC. | The test checks software functionality, memory/CPU usage, and system performance at the end of the development cycle. | | It is performed during the verification stage. | It is performed during the validation stage. | | This is performed prior to the deployment of the code. | Following the deployment of the code, dynamic testing is performed. | | A static test prevents defects from occurring. | In dynamic testing, defects are detected and fixed. | | A walkthrough, technical review, and inspection are all part of this process. | Functional and non-functional testing is involved in this process. | | Errors are found early in the development process, thereby improving the quality of software applications. | The main objective is to ensure that the software product meets the business requirements. |
