A team is developing a mobile application and wants to ensure that the performance requirements are testable. They have a design document that describes the expected response times. Which static testing activity would best help them validate the testability of these requirements?

Walkthrough of the design document

Performance testing on a simulator

Unit testing of individual functions

What is a primary benefit of static testing?

It eliminates the need for dynamic testing

It can detect defects early in the development lifecycle, reducing the cost of fixing them

It guarantees that the software is free of all defects

It measures the system's performance under peak load

A team is developing a critical financial application. They have limited time and budget. They want to maximize defect detection while minimizing cost. Which approach would be most effective?

Perform all testing activities equally without prioritization.

Perform static testing on requirements and design, then focus dynamic testing on high-risk areas.

Perform only static testing and skip dynamic testing.

Skip static testing and invest all resources in dynamic testing.

Why might static testing fail to identify a performance bottleneck?

Because static testing is only used for security testing

Because performance bottlenecks are always caused by hardware failures

Because performance bottlenecks often depend on runtime conditions such as concurrency and resource usage

Because static testing tools are not capable of analyzing code

Part of the Basic Concepts domain, which makes up ~25% of our current practice bank. ISTQB does not publish an official question count, but from its 90-minute exam (~35–60 total, ~9–15 in this domain), expect 2–3 from this objective — we provide 27 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
