Static Application Security Testing (SAST): A method of software testing in which the code is analyzed without executing it, with a focus on identifying potential security vulnerabilities. It is commonly used in software development. Examples include a static analysis tool that scans the code for potential security vulnerabilities or a static analysis tool that checks the code for adherence to security best practices.
