Talk:Static testing

The sentence "Static testing is generally done as unit testing following an "Elephant in Cairo" style." is not correct. The reason is the definition in the section before: "...is a form of software testing where the software isn't actually used" which wants to say that it is a non-execution based method. - The unit test is a dynamic test. --84.56.142.31 17:58, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Expanded meaning
Static testing also applies to engineering, not only software. For example, aircraft undergo static testing before flight. I think the article needs to be reworked to include the expanded meanings.-- Lester  04:28, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Merge?
Should this article be distinct from the fuller one on static program analysis? I propose a redirect to there instead of keeping this page.
