Static testing evaluates software artifacts such as requirements, design documents, or source code without executing the program. It includes activities like code reviews, walkthroughs, and static analysis tools. Dynamic testing validates software by executing the application and observing system behavior during runtime. It verifies that the system produces the correct outputs for defined inputs and scenarios. Integration testing verifies that different modules or components work correctly when combined. It ensures data flows properly between integrated parts of the system and that interfaces behave as designed. Acceptance testing evaluates whether the software meets business and user requirements before release. It is often performed by stakeholders or QA teams to confirm the product is ready for deployment. Detecting defects in requirements, designs, or code before execution is significantly cheaper than finding them during or after testing. Static testing helps teams reduce rework and improve overall software quality.
