Difference of Static and Dynamic Testing
- Static testing involves verification and is done without executing the program, while dynamic testing involves validation and is done by executing the program.
- Static testing prevents defects vs dynamic testing which finds and fixes them.
- Static testing involves a checklist and process; dynamic testing involves test cases for execution.
- Static testing gives an assessment of the code and documentation, whereas dynamic testing gives bugs/bottlenecks in the software system.
Static Testing vs Dynamic Testing
- Static testing can be performed before compilation, while dynamic testing occurs after compilation.
- Static testing covers structural and statement coverage, while dynamic testing includes Boundary Value Analysis & Equivalence Partitioning.
- Finding and fixing defects is less costly in static testing than in dynamic testing.
- Static testing provides a high return on investment when involved at an early stage, whereas dynamic testing has a low return on investment after the development phase.
- Static: More reviews comments are highly recommended for good quality.
- Dynamic: More defects are highly recommended for good quality.
