Examine various benefits provided by performing static testing in the software development lifecycle. Learn how to perform a review on source code and requirements specification. Understand the differences between static and dynamic testing techniques in respect to objectives, types of defects, and roles of the techniques used. Learners will examine the work product review process and responsibilities for roles associated with a formal review. You will identify attributes associated with various reviews: informal, walkthrough, technical, and inspection reviews. Then view the various individual review techniques for ad hoc, checklist-based, scenario-based, role-based, and perspective-based review types. Next, examine the organizational factors that can help provide a successful review outcome. A final exercise reviews static testing.
