What is the benefits of Static Testing Analysis?

What is the benefits of Static Testing Analysis?

• Early detection of defects prior to test executions
• Early warning about suspicious aspects of the code or design, by the calculation of metrics, such as a high complexity measure.
• Identification of defects not easily found by dynamic testing.
• Detecting dependencies and inconsistencies in software models, such as links.
• Improved maintainability of code and design.
• Prevention of defects, if lessons are learned in development
