Dynamic code analysis is the method of analyzing an application right during its execution. The dynamic analysis process can be divided into several steps: preparing input data, running a test program launch and gathering the necessary parameters, and analyzing the output data. When performing the test launch, the program can be executed both on a real and a virtual processor. The source code should be necessarily compiled into an executable file, i.e. you can't use this method to analyze a code containing compilation or build errors.
Dynamic code analysis is a testing procedure that is part of the software debugging process and used to evaluate a program during real-time execution. It is applied during the development phase.
The main purpose of dynamic code analysis is to find errors while a program is running, functions are invoked and variables contain values, versus checking each line of code, mentally applying values and guessing possible branching scenarios.
