Static Testing is a form of software testing where the 
software isn't actually used.  It is generally not detailed 
testing, but checks mainly for the sanity of the code, 
algorithm, or document. It is primarily syntax checking of 
the code or and manually reading of the code or document to 
find errors. This type of testing can be used by the 
developer who wrote the code, in isolation. Code reviews, 
inspections and walkthroughs are also used.

Static testing means not only the code syntax, but testing 
each and every outcome document of SDLC, testing GUI 
objects like color combination, allignment, spellings, 
availablity of objects, etc.
