In which scenario is dynamic analysis most appropriate?

Detecting unreachable code in a module

Reviewing a requirements specification for ambiguity

Identifying memory leaks during a long-running application session

Checking source code for compliance with coding standards

A project manager is concerned about the high cost of fixing defects that are found late in the development lifecycle. The team is about to start coding a new module. The manager wants to implement a practice that will help reduce the number of defects that reach the testing phase. Which practice is most aligned with this goal?

Increase the amount of dynamic testing performed during the system testing phase.

Conduct a single, thorough code review at the end of the module's development.

Integrate automated static analysis into the development workflow, running it on every code commit.

Defer all analysis until the module is fully integrated and run a comprehensive regression test.

In which project scenario is static analysis most beneficial?

When the code is already in production and performance issues are reported

When the software is complete and ready for user acceptance testing

When the team wants to detect defects as early as possible in the development lifecycle

When the team needs to measure the system's response time under load
