Which of the following is a dynamic analysis tool for the
purpose of testing software modules?
A. Blackbox test
B. Desk checking
C. Structured walk-through
D. Design and code
Answer / guest
Answer: A
A blackbox test is a dynamic analysis tool for testing
software modules. During the testing of software modules a
blackbox test works first in a cohesive manner as one single
unit/entity, consisting of numerous modules and second, with
the user data that flows across software modules. In some
cases, this even drives the software behavior. In choices B,
C and D, the software (design or code) remains static and
somebody simply closely examines it by applying his/her
mind, without actually activating the software. Hence, these
cannot be referred to as dynamic analysis tools.
