Activity 4: Introduction

Dynamic testing techniques

Following your study of static testing techniques in the previous week, you are now going to explore dynamic testing.

Dynamic testing is a key tool in the software testing toolbox, helping to uncover issues that static testing might overlook. In this activity, you will not only be learning about what dynamic testing is, but you will also explore some best practices and industry standards associated with it.

So, prepare yourself for a comprehensive understanding of dynamic testing. By the end of this activity, you should have gained a solid understanding of the role of dynamic testing and its practices, equipping you for our deeper exploration into specific dynamic testing techniques later in the week.

Learning outcome

On completion of this activity, you should be able to:

• Describe dynamic testing, its importance, best practices, industry standards, and its role in the software development process
