[All ISTQB-CTFL Questions]

Which of the following characterizations applies to a test tool used for the analysis of a developer's code prior to its execution?

ATool support for test design and implementation.

BTool support for static testing.

CTool support for test execution and logging.

DTool support for performance measurement and dynamic analysis.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

A test tool used for the analysis of a developer's code prior to its execution falls under the category of static testing tools. Static testing involves examining the code and documentation without executing the code. These tools are used to perform static analysis, which helps in identifying potential defects and code quality issues early in the development process. The ISTQB CTFL syllabus specifies that static analysis tools are essential for finding defects that do not manifest themselves during the execution of the program.

I know option B is the right answer, but I can't help but imagine a tool that just executes the code and then yells at the developer, 'Your code is trash!'

D seems to be the best choice here. Dynamic analysis tools can measure performance and do in-depth evaluation of the code.
