I believe both techniques are often used during development, especially in coding and unit testing, but I need to double-check that.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like both methods might relate to reviews in some way, but I’m not entirely confident.

I think both static and dynamic analysis can be performed using tools, but I can't recall if they're usually done by the same people.

I remember that both techniques involve some form of analysis, but I'm not sure if they both rely on requirements as the main input.

I'm a little confused on the distinction between static and dynamic analysis. I know they're both important, but I'm not sure I can identify the key similarities. I'll need to think this through carefully.

I've got this! Static and dynamic analysis are both used to find bugs and improve code quality. They both usually involve using tools, and they're both related to the review process in some way. I'm confident I can nail this one.

Hmm, this is a good one. I think the key is to focus on the similarities between the two techniques, not the differences. I'll need to carefully consider the options and see which ones match up.

Okay, let me think this through. I know both techniques are used to improve software quality, but I'm not sure about the specific similarities. I'll need to review my notes on each approach.

This question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I understand the key differences between static and dynamic analysis before answering.
