Static testing
- 2. WHAT IS STATIC TESTING?? • Static testing is the testing of the software work products manually, or with a set of tools, but they are not executed. • Example - reviewing, walk through, inspection, etc.
- 3. TOOLS - • REVIEW PROCESS SUPPORT TOOLS • STATIC ANALYSIS TOOLS • MODELING TOOLS
- 5. • Spreadsheets and text documents can be used for review , but a review tool which is designed for the purpose is more likely to do a better job
- 6. FEATURES • a common reference in different situations. • storing and sorting review comments. • communicating comments to relevant people. • coordinating online reviews. • keeping track of comments, including defects found, and providing statistical information.
- 7. • providing traceability between comments, documents reviewed and related documents. • a repository for rules, procedures and checklists to be used in reviews, as well as entry and exit criteria. • monitoring the review status. • collecting metrics and reporting on key factors.
- 9. • Static analysis tools are normally used by developers as part of the development and component testing process.
- 10. FEATURES • help to identify where more testing may be needed due to increased risk. • enforce coding standards. • analyze structures and dependencies. • aid in code understanding. • identify anomalies or defects in the code.
- 11. MODELING TOOLS
- 12. • Modelling tools are basically ‘model-based testing tools’ which actually generates test inputs or test cases from stored information about a particular model. • Modeling tools help to validate models of the system or software.
- 13. FEATURES • Identifying inconsistencies and defects within the model; • Helping to identify and prioritize areas of the model for testing; • Predicting system response and behaviour under various situations, such as level of load; • Helping to understand system functions and identify test conditions using a modeling language such as UML.
