What do static analysis tools analyze?

CRequirements

DProgram code

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Writing test summary reports is typically the responsibility of a test leader or manager, who consolidates testing activities and results to communicate with stakeholders. Testers are more involved in preparing and acquiring test data, setting up and checking the test environment, and reviewing tests developed by others. These tasks are more hands-on and technical, aligning with the role of a tester .

I’m a bit confused. I thought they could analyze requirements too, but I guess that's more for dynamic analysis?

I feel like they might analyze design as well, but that seems less common. I should probably stick with program code.

I remember practicing a question about this, and I think it was about how they check for bugs in the code itself.

If the answer isn't D, I'm going to have a 'static' with the exam committee. That's the only logical choice, isn't it?
