Exercise: Dynamic testing techniques
In this video, Julian introduces you to the concept of dynamic testing and provides an overview of some common dynamic testing techniques: black-box, white-box, and grey-box testing.
Julian explains that dynamic testing is a category of software testing that involves the execution of the software to identify issues that arise during the software execution process, unlike static testing, which focuses on examining the software code and documentation without running the software.
Now that you have an overview of the common dynamic testing techniques, it’s time for you to dive deeper into these concepts.
