code review: Code review is a process where programmers look at each others code and evaluate it's fitness for the intended purpose. It can find mistakes in design and implementation beyond simple syntax problems and improve quality.
peer code review (code review): Code review is a process where programmers look at each others code and evaluate it's fitness for the intended purpose. It can find mistakes in design and implementation beyond simple syntax problems and improve quality.
Development Testing: Development Testing is a software development process that involves practices such as static analysis, data flow analysis, metrics, peer code review, unit testing, code coverage and other steps that can be performed at development time. The goal is not to replace traditional QA, but to reduce time and cost by catching problems earlier.
NIST: National Institute of Standards and Technology
static analysis: Any form of software analysis that can be done on the code without actually executing the code. Encompasses techniques like pattern-based analysis, metrics, code review, etc.
