Static Testing Vs Dynamic Testing

Static Testing

The Verification activities fall into the category of Static Testing. During static testing, you have a checklist to check whether the work you are doing is going as per the set standards of the organization. These standards can be for Coding, Integrating and Deployment. Reviews, Inspections and Walkthroughs are static testing methodologies.

Dynamic Testing

Dynamic Testing involves working with the software, giving input values and checking if the output is as expected. These are the Validation activities. Unit Tests, Integration Tests, System Tests and Acceptance Tests are few of the Dynamic Testing methodologies.

For example: Inspecting a car without running is the static testing while test driving a car is the dynamic testing.
