A team has completed static testing and found several defects, which were fixed. They are now about to start dynamic testing. What is the primary benefit of having performed static testing before dynamic testing?

Static testing has made dynamic testing unnecessary, so dynamic testing can be skipped.

Static testing has increased the number of defects, making dynamic testing more important.

Static testing has already removed some defects, so dynamic testing can focus on finding defects that only appear during execution.

Static testing has no effect on dynamic testing, so the benefits are independent.

A team is developing a mobile application. They have a limited testing budget and need to decide where to focus their efforts. The application has a complex user interface and a backend server. Which testing strategy is most balanced?

Use only static testing for both the backend and the user interface, as it is cheaper.

Use dynamic testing for the backend and static testing for the user interface.

Use only dynamic testing for both the backend and the user interface, as it is the most comprehensive approach.

Use static testing for the backend code to find logic errors, and dynamic testing for the user interface to verify user interactions.
