iSQI CTFL_Syll_4.0 Exam - Topic 1 Question 12 Discussion

Actual exam question for iSQI's CTFL_Syll_4.0 exam

Question #: 12
Topic #: 1

Which of the following statements about static testing and dynamic testing is true?

AUnlike dynamic testing, which can be also performed manually, static testing cannot be performed without specialized tools

BStatic testing is usually much less cost-effective than dynamic testing

CUnlike dynamic testing, which focuses on detecting potential defects, static testing focuses on detecting failures which may be due to actual defects

DBoth static testing and dynamic testing can be used to highlight issues associated with non-functional characteristics

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

This answer is correct because static testing and dynamic testing are both types of testing that can be used to highlight issues associated with non-functional characteristics, such as usability, performance, security, reliability, etc. Static testing is a type of testing that involves the analysis of software work products, such as requirements, design, code, or test cases, without executing them. Dynamic testing is a type of testing that involves the execution of software work products, such as code or test cases, using inputs and verifying outputs. Both static testing and dynamic testing can be applied to different test levels and test types, and can use different test techniques and tools, to evaluate the non-functional characteristics of the software product.Reference: ISTQB Glossary of Testing Terms v4.0, ISTQB Foundation Level Syllabus v4.0, Section 2.2.1.1, Section 2.2.1.2

Not sure about B, I've seen static testing save a lot of costs!

Wait, isn't static testing just about finding defects before runtime?

Static testing can be done without tools, just need a good eye!

I’m pretty certain that both types of testing can address non-functional issues, but I can't recall if that's a primary focus for either.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like static testing is about finding defects before execution, while dynamic testing is about finding failures during execution.

I think static testing is actually more cost-effective because it catches issues early, but I might be mixing it up with dynamic testing.

I remember static testing can be done without tools, like code reviews, but I'm not sure if that's what the question is asking.

The key is understanding how static and dynamic testing are used to identify different types of issues. I'll focus on that distinction.

I remember learning about this in class, but I'm having trouble recalling the specifics. I'll have to read the options closely.

Okay, I know static testing involves analyzing the code without actually running it, while dynamic testing is about testing the program in action. I'll use that to guide my answer.

This seems straightforward to me. For a fiber optic connection, the "nstcp_default_tcp_lan" profile is the obvious choice to improve performance. I'm confident that's the right answer.

Okay, I think I've got this. Publish Options is where you configure the metadata and set the target for the published FlexCard, so I'm going to go with option B.
