I could be wrong, but I feel like A could also be related to detection since writing test specs helps in finding issues early on.

I practiced a similar question, and I think fixing field failures is more about correction, so D doesn't seem to fit as a detection cost.

Detra 4 months ago

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about training being more about prevention than detection, so that might rule out B.

Carli 5 months ago

I think costs of detection relate to identifying defects, so maybe C is the right answer since it involves verifying a fix.
