You must classify review types by formality, assign each formal review role correctly, and order the review phases, placing rework after the fix step and before follow-up. The single most important thing: know who does what in a formal inspection and when.

Domain overview
Static testing on the CTFL v4. 0 exam covers reviews, the review process, and static analysis, tested through scenario and definition questions rather than tool operation. You must distinguish review types by formality, match roles to responsibilities, order the review phases, and know what static analysis can and cannot find without executing code.
Exam objectives
Review types: informal, walkthrough, technical review, inspection, and their formality levels
Formal review roles: moderator, author, scribe, reviewer, review leader, and their duties
Review process phases: planning, kick-off, individual review, communication, fix, rework, follow-up
Static analysis versus dynamic testing: defects found without executing the software under test
Confusing walkthrough with technical review; walkthroughs are author-led and informal, technical reviews are peer-led and documented.
Mixing up moderator and review leader duties, or assigning rework to the moderator instead of the author.
Believing static analysis finds failures or runtime defects; it detects code and design defects without execution.
