A static analysis tool can be used by developers, testers and quality assurance personnel in looking for defects prior to dynamic testing, because it can analyse the code or design of the software under test without executing it and identify errors such as syntax errors, missing declarations, undefined variables, unused variables, or unreachable code . The other options are not tools that can be used by developers, testers and quality assurance personnel in looking for defects prior to dynamic testing. Option B is not a tool that can be used for this purpose, because a modeling tool is used to create graphical or textual representations of the software under test, such as state diagrams, data flow diagrams, or use cases . Option C is not a tool that can be used for this purpose, because a test data preparation tool is used to generate or manipulate data that are needed for executing the test cases or procedures . Option D is not a tool that can be used for this purpose, because a configuration management tool is used to manage and control the versions and changes of the software under test and the testware .
