ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL 2018) — Question 26

Which defect below is MOST likely to be found by a review during static testing?

Answer options

• A. Incorrect interface specifications.
• B. Old versions of software in use.
• C. Performance bottlenecks.
• D. Broken links to web addresses.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Incorrect interface specifications can be detected during static testing because this type of testing involves reviewing documents and code without executing the program. In contrast, old versions of software, performance bottlenecks, and broken links typically require dynamic testing or execution of the software to identify issues.
