Static versus Dynamic Testing

In this section, we will study static versus dynamic testing. Therefore, let’s start.

Static Testing:
Static Testing is a type of Software Testing method which is set up to check the defects in software without actually executing the code of the software application.

Moreover, static testing takes place at an early stage of development to avoid errors. Consequently, it is easier to find sources of failures and to fix them.

Dynamic Testing:
Dynamic Testing is a type of Software Testing which is set up to analyze the dynamic behavior of the code. Further, it incorporates the testing of the software for the input values and output values.

Key differences Between Static and Dynamic Testing

Static Testing	Dynamic Testing
Firstly, is about prevention	is about cure
Secondly, economical	comparatively less economical
After that, takes a shorter time	takes a longer time
Additionally, done before the code deployment	done after the code deployment
Moreover, occurs in the verification stage	occurs in the validation stage
Further, finds more bugs	Finds fewer bugs

Most importantly, both testing complement one another and has a unique approach to detect bugs.
