   A team is testing a new e-commerce website. They want to verify that the checkout process works correctly when a user enters valid payment information. Which type of testing should they perform?

   • ADynamic functional testing, by executing the checkout process with valid payment data.
   • BNon-functional testing, by measuring the response time of the checkout process.
   • CStatic testing, by reviewing the checkout process code for errors.
   • DStatic analysis, by checking the code for security vulnerabilities.

   A tester is investigating a defect that causes the application to crash when a specific input is provided. The team wants to understand the root cause. Which combination of testing approaches would be most effective?

   • AUse only dynamic testing to find the root cause, as it can reproduce the crash.
   • BUse non-functional testing to measure the performance impact of the crash.
   • CUse only static testing to find the root cause, as it can analyze the code without execution.
   • DUse dynamic testing to reproduce the crash and static testing to analyze the code path that leads to the crash.

   Which of the following is a benefit of performing static testing early in the development lifecycle?

   • AIt ensures that the code is free of all defects
   • BIt reduces the cost of fixing defects by finding them earlier
   • CIt eliminates the need for dynamic testing
   • DIt verifies that the software meets performance requirements

   A project has a tight deadline. The team lead suggests skipping static testing to save time and relying only on dynamic testing. What is the best response to this suggestion?

   • AStatic testing is optional and can be skipped if dynamic testing is thorough.
   • BStatic testing should not be skipped because it can find defects early, reducing the cost and effort of fixing them later.
   • CStatic testing can be replaced by dynamic testing if the test cases are comprehensive.
   • DDynamic testing is more important than static testing, so skipping static testing is acceptable.
