Option C sounds like the most independent path, unless the company has a secret underground testing lair. Then all bets are off!

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the options. I know the general principle, but I'm not sure I can confidently rank these specific scenarios. I'll need to re-read each option carefully.
DA

This is a tricky one. I'm not 100% confident, but I think option C has the levels in the correct order, from most to least independent. I'll make sure to justify my reasoning in the exam.

Okay, I remember learning about this in class. I believe the most independent testing is when someone from a different company designs the tests, followed by a different department, then a different team member. Let me double-check the options.
JA

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the order of these levels. I know independence increases as the tester is more removed from the development team, but I'll need to think through each option carefully.
