Dynamiktests

Dynamiktests, also known as dynamic tests, are a category of software testing that verifies the behavior of a software application while it is running. This contrasts with static testing, which examines code without executing it. Dynamiktests are crucial for understanding how a system responds to various inputs, conditions, and stress levels.

The primary goal of dynamiktests is to identify defects that only manifest during execution. These can include issues related to performance, memory leaks, concurrency problems, and the overall responsiveness of the application. By simulating real-world usage scenarios, developers can uncover bugs that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Common types of dynamiktests include performance testing, load testing, stress testing, and endurance testing. Performance testing measures how fast an application responds to requests. Load testing assesses an application's ability to handle a specified number of concurrent users or transactions. Stress testing pushes an application beyond its normal operating limits to determine its breaking point and how it recovers from failures. Endurance testing, also known as soak testing, checks for issues that arise from sustained operation over long periods, such as memory leaks.

Dynamiktests are typically performed after the code has been written and some level of static analysis has been completed. They require a runnable version of the software and often involve specialized tools and environments to simulate various conditions. The results of dynamiktests provide valuable feedback for optimizing software performance, ensuring stability, and improving the user experience.
