What is Static analysis tools in software testing?

Static analysis tools are generally used by developers as part of the development and component testing process. The key aspect is that the code (or other artefact) is not executed or run but the tool itself is executed, and the source code we are interested in is the input data to the tool.

Inspection:

It is the most formal review type
It is led by the trained moderators [Read more…] about What is Inspection in software testing?

Technical review:

It is less formal review
It is led by the trained moderator but can also be led by a technical expert [Read more…] about What is Technical review in software testing?

Walkthroughs are represented by the below characteristics:

The uses of static testing are as follows:

Since static testing can start early in the life cycle so early feedback on quality issues can be established.
As the defects are getting detected at an early stage so the rework cost most often relatively low.
Development productivity is likely to increase because of the less rework effort.
Types of the defects that are easier to find during the static testing are: deviation from standards, missing requirements, design defects, non-maintainable code and inconsistent interface specifications.
Static tests contribute to the increased awareness of quality issues.
