static analysis
<theory, programming> A family of techniques of program analysis where
the program is not actually executed (as opposed to dynamic analysis), but is
analyzed by tools to produce useful information.
Static analysis techniques range from the most mundane (statistics on the
density of comments, for instance) to the more complex, semantics-based
techniques.
Qualities sought in static analysis techniques are soundness and completeness.
