   How do static and dynamic testing complement each other?

   • AStatic testing is used only for documentation, while dynamic testing is used only for code
   • BStatic testing finds defects early, while dynamic testing finds defects that only appear during execution
   • CStatic testing replaces the need for dynamic testing in most projects
   • DDynamic testing is used only after static testing has found all defects

   A team is debating whether to use static testing or dynamic testing for a new feature. The feature involves complex algorithms that are difficult to test dynamically due to the need for specific input combinations. Which statement best supports the use of static testing in this scenario?

   • AStatic testing can verify the algorithm's performance under various input conditions.
   • BDynamic testing is not useful for complex algorithms, so static testing is the only option.
   • CStatic testing is always faster than dynamic testing, so it should be used for all testing.
   • DStatic testing can analyze the algorithm's logic and identify potential errors without needing to execute it with specific inputs.

   A development team has just completed the design document for a new feature. Before any code is written, they want to ensure the design is sound and that all team members understand it. Which static testing technique is most appropriate for this situation?

   • APerform a formal inspection of the compiled binary to verify the design.
   • BConduct a walkthrough of the design document with the entire team.
   • CRun a static analysis tool on the design document to check for syntax errors.
   • DExecute a set of predefined test cases against the design document.

   A tester is examining a piece of code to identify potential security vulnerabilities without running the code. Which type of testing is the tester performing?

   • ANon-functional testing, because security is a non-functional requirement.
   • BStructural testing, because it examines the internal structure of the code.
   • CDynamic testing, because security vulnerabilities can only be found by executing the code.
   • DStatic testing, because the code is analyzed without execution.
