Syntax checking and manually reading the code to find errors are methods of static testing. This type of testing is mostly used by the developer himself/herself (who designed or code the module). Static testing is usually the first type of testing done on any system.

 
Code walkthrough is done with peer

Hi,

Does the static testing involve review of FS, RS and DS or is it only code review?

From the definition it appears this is stand alone testing done by developer. Its not review.

From the definition proivded:

Syntax checking and manually reading the code to find errors are methods of static testing..

It appears it's review.

If it's testing it will be unit testing..

What's ur say ?

Since its done by same

Since its done by same person who did the coding its cannot be review. Review is generally done by someone other than the person who did the work.

 

Unit testing can still be done by different person than developer.
