By the end of this phase, all the items in each section of the test plan should have been completed. The actual testing of software is accomplished through the test data in the test plan developed during the requirements, logical design, physical design, and program unit design phases. Because results have been specified in the test cases and test procedures, the correctness of the executions is ensured from a static test point of view; that is, the tests have been reviewed manually.
Dynamic testing, or time-dependent techniques, involves executing a specific sequence of instructions with the computer. These techniques are used to study the functional and computational correctness of the code.
Dynamic testing proceeds in the opposite order of the development life cycle. It starts with unit testing to verify each program unit independently and then proceeds to integration, system, and acceptance testing. After acceptance testing has been completed, the system is ready for operation and maintenance. Figure below briefly describes each testing type.
