Software testing can be classified as static and dynamic approaches.

Static testing is a process in which software products are verified by hand or through the use of different software tools. It begins early in the development lifecycle and is performed during the verification procedure. In this testing method, a program is tested without being executed that is why there is no need to use a computer for such examination. For example, the checks are inspection, code analysis/review, walkthrough.

Static testing involves working with:

• Documentation (requirements, test cases, description of application architecture, database schemes, etc.)
• Graphical prototypes (GUI designs)
• Program code (programmers themselves can often do the code review)
• Application runtime environment settings
• Prepared test data  

To get clarification on many software testing-related issues you had better use QA consulting services. They also can help you to find the right combination for your software testing & quality assurance.

Static testing may be used for both finding defects early in SDLC and verifying the source code through analysis of frameworks used, algorithms, the relationship between modules and components of the program and so on. Static testing allows determining whether the app is secure, reliable, functional, user-friendly, etc.  

Dynamic testing is run to validate a software application by executing it. One cannot avoid using a computer for this testing. The technique allows examining the functionality of the system, CPU / memory usage and the overall performance of a software system.

Dynamic testing is designed to check code of the entire software program (system testing) and interfaces between individual components, interactions to various parts of the system (integration testing), integration of separate software modules ( module or component testing) and even a part of the code. The main goal of this testing is to check the actual behavior of the application or its single unit to make sure that it works in compliance with business requirements.

Software app testing service is what you really need in order to launch mobile, web or wearable applications which become winners.

Dynamic testing is divided into numerous types, and each depends on:

• Access to the code (black box, white box, and grey box testing methods)
• Application test coverage
• Environment the application is working in (functional, load, security testing types)

In many cases, the word “testing” has to do just with the dynamic testing method.

QA lab is used to carry out various testing processes and other procedures and policies relating to quality assurance/quality control so as to provide accurate and precise analytical results. Thus, verification /validation of your app using both dynamic and static testing approaches can be outsourced to the specialists working in the laboratory.
