Part 1 "Test Techniques various"
An embedded software company is considering to improve the quality of its software components to
be delivered to the integration team. After studying various experience papers that report a higher
level of quality for software components, two main alternative techniques are identified:
static analysis and dynamic analysis.
In deciding which one is most applicable and how they relate to each other a detailed study is
performed. Which of the following are TWO key similarities between static analysis and dynamic
analysis? 2 credits [K4]
