A technical review is a formal type of review that focuses on discussing, making decisions, evaluating alternatives, finding defects, solving technical problems, and checking conformance to specifications, plans, regulations, and standards. It is typically conducted by a team of experts and aims to ensure the technical quality of the product.

Maintenance testing is conducted on the software after it has been delivered to address any issues or changes required due to defects, environment changes, or new requirements. The ISTQB syllabus explains that maintenance testing typically involves impact analysis to determine the extent of regression testing required, thus optimizing the testing effort and focusing on affected areas​​.

The task "verify the test environment set up is correct" relates to the Implementation and Execution phase of the fundamental test process. This phase includes setting up the test environment, creating test data, and executing test cases.

Experience-based test design techniques rely on the tester's skill, intuition, and experience to derive test cases. Techniques like error guessing and exploratory testing fall under this category. These methods do not depend on formal specifications but rather on the tester's understanding of the system and potential areas where defects might exist.
