Actual exam question for ISTQB's ISTQB-CTFL exam
Question #: 42
Topic #: 4
[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?

Show Suggested Answer Hide 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’m leaning towards B too, but I wonder if there’s a chance it could be C since logging might involve some analysis as well.

I feel like A could also be relevant, but it seems more focused on the design phase rather than just analyzing code.

Okay, let me see. I think the key here is to identify which tool is used for static analysis of the code before execution. That sounds like option B to me.

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!'
