   A company is developing a software component for a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). The system is ASIL B, and the project is in the software component testing phase. The team has a well-defined set of requirements and the code is written in C. They want to find defects in the logic of individual functions. Which test technique is most appropriate?

   • ADecision coverage testing on the C code
   • BSystem-level integration testing
   • CExploratory testing of the user interface
   • DFormal verification of the entire system

   Why is it beneficial to combine static analysis with dynamic testing in automotive software development?

   • AStatic analysis replaces the need for dynamic testing, saving time and cost.
   • BDynamic testing is only effective when combined with static analysis to ensure test coverage.
   • CStatic analysis finds defects that dynamic testing may miss, such as unreachable code or coding standard violations.
   • DCombining techniques guarantees that all defects are found before release.
