Static and dynamic analysis methods for software testing

Svyatenko Alexander

Currently, there is no single methodology that allows comprehensive testing of software. The main difference between the methods used for statistical and dynamic analysis of software quality are quantitative and qualitative indicators, as well as the choice of a reference indicator. The problem is that static analysis methods for software testing lead to estimation inaccuracies, while dynamic analysis methods are time-consuming and can define procedures for selecting optimal values in different ways. The article suggests using a complex methodology based on static and dynamic analysis methods when testing software.
