Static Testing

• Analyses the code characteristics without executing the application
• Considered as an automated code review → checks the style and structure of the code
• Can be used to statistically evaluate all possible code paths in the System Under Test (SUT)

Pattern matching

• PM
• Regular Expression
• Example
• Wildcard Characters

Syntax Analysis

• SA
• Parse Tree
• Performance
• Exercises

Fuzz Testing

• Used to automatically generate complex test cases.
• They hope to cause crashes
• Crash can be from failing assertions, memory leaks or improper error handling
• Random Fuzzing is the most primitive type of fuzzing → the SUT is considered as a complete black box → with no assumptions about the type and format of the input
