    Correct Answer
    A. Bias
    Explanation
    Independence testing avoids author bias. This means that when conducting an independence test, the researcher ensures that their personal opinions, beliefs, or preferences do not influence the results or conclusions of the study. By avoiding bias, the researcher can maintain objectivity and increase the reliability and validity of the findings. This is important in scientific research as it allows for unbiased evaluation of relationships between variables and helps to establish accurate cause-and-effect relationships.

    • Time & risk

    Correct Answer
    A. Time & risk
    Explanation
    Defects found and fixed during testing will save time and money by preventing the occurrence of errors in the future. This is because identifying and resolving defects early in the testing phase reduces the need for extensive debugging and rework later on. Additionally, addressing these defects helps in reducing the risk associated with the software or product, as it ensures that it functions correctly and meets the desired quality standards. Therefore, the correct answer is "time & risk".

    Correct Answer
    A. Author
    Explanation
    Identifying failures during testing may be perceived as a criticism against the author. This is because the author is responsible for creating and developing the product or system being tested. When failures are found, it can be seen as a reflection of the author's work and may be interpreted as a critique of their abilities or expertise.

    Which is the highest level of independence?

    • Tests designed by another person (e.g. from the Development Team)

    • Tests designed by the person who wrote the software

    • Tests designed by a person from a different company/ organisation (outsourcing or certification by an external body)

    • Tests designed by a person from a different company/ organisation (e.g. independence test team) or test specialists (usability or performance specialists)

    Correct Answer
    A. Tests designed by a person from a different company/ organisation (outsourcing or certification by an external body)
    Explanation
    Tests designed by a person from a different company/organization (outsourcing or certification by an external body) provide the highest level of independence. This is because an external entity is not directly involved in the development process and has no bias or vested interest in the outcome of the tests. They can provide an objective evaluation of the software's functionality, quality, and adherence to standards. This level of independence ensures a more thorough and unbiased assessment of the software's performance.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Looking for failures in a system requires curiosity, professional .............., a critial eye, attention to detail, good communication with development ......., and experience on which to base ..........

    • Pessimism & organisations & test conditions

    • Skill & peers & error guessing

    • Pessimism & peers & error guessing

    • Pessimism & peers & test scripts

    Correct Answer
    A. Pessimism & peers & error guessing
    Explanation
    To effectively identify failures in a system, it is important to have a sense of pessimism, as this helps in anticipating potential issues and being proactive in finding them. Additionally, collaborating with peers is crucial as they can provide different perspectives and insights, contributing to a more thorough analysis. Error guessing is another valuable skill, as it involves thinking creatively about potential errors that may occur and actively seeking them out. By combining these attributes of pessimism, collaboration with peers, and error guessing, one can increase the chances of uncovering failures in a system.
