Which of the following activities requires code execution?

Using a static analysis tool to detect unreachable code

Running a test case that checks the login functionality

Conducting a walkthrough of the requirements

Reviewing a design document for consistency

Which of the following is a scenario where dynamic testing is more appropriate than static testing?

Inspecting the test plan for completeness

Checking the code for compliance with coding standards

Reviewing the architecture design for scalability issues

Verifying that the software correctly calculates interest on a bank account

A team has developed a new web application and wants to verify that it responds correctly to user inputs and that its performance meets the required response time under load. Which testing approach should they use?

Use a static analysis tool to simulate user inputs and measure response times.

Perform a walkthrough of the requirements to confirm the application meets them.

Perform dynamic testing, including functional tests for input handling and non-functional tests for performance under load.

Conduct a static review of the source code to verify input handling and performance.

Which of the following is an example of static analysis?

Running a test script to verify login functionality

Using a tool to detect potential null pointer dereferences in source code

Measuring the response time of a web application under load

Executing test cases to achieve statement coverage

Why is it beneficial to use both static and dynamic testing in a project?

Because dynamic testing is more reliable than static testing

Because static testing is required by regulations, while dynamic testing is optional

Because static testing is faster than dynamic testing

Because they find different types of defects, improving overall test effectiveness
