Not sure if D really understands the system well enough.

A is definitely biased since they wrote the requirements.

Yeah, but I wonder if the permanent programmer could still be independent enough since they only reviewed the code and didn't write it.

I feel like the business analyst would be too biased since they wrote the original requirements. That seems like a conflict of interest.

I'm not so sure about that. I remember a practice question where the permanent tester had a good balance of knowledge and independence.

I think the contract tester might have the highest level of independence since they haven't been involved with the organization before.

This is a tricky one, but I think I can figure it out. I'll need to really think through the trade-offs around measurement to determine the right response.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about the assumptions for the t-test here. I should double-check that the data meets the requirements before jumping into the analysis.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not entirely sure which module I should use. I know there are a few different Azure-related modules, but I'm not sure which one is specific to Azure Virtual Desktop. I'll have to review the module documentation to make sure I get this right.

I think D is the correct answer. A contract tester who has never worked for the organization before would have the most unbiased perspective and the highest level of test independence.

D, definitely. A contract tester who's never worked with the organization before? That's like a fresh pair of eyes, no baggage. Unless they're a time-traveling tester from the future, in which case they'd have the highest level of independence.

Hmm, I'm not sure. I guess I'd have to go with B. A permanent programmer who reviewed some of the new code, but has not written any of it, would be more independent than a business analyst who wrote the original requirements.

I disagree, I think C is the right answer. A permanent tester who found most defects in the original system would have the deepest understanding of the system and would be able to test it more thoroughly.
