I didn't realize re-running tests counted as detection costs!

No way, D is more about fixing issues, not detecting them.

I feel like fixing field failures is more about costs of failure rather than detection. So, I’m leaning towards C as well.

I'm a bit confused about A and C. Writing test specs seems like it could be related, but I guess it's more about preventing issues rather than detecting them?

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think re-running tests is definitely a cost of detection. So, C seems right to me.

I think cost of detection relates to identifying defects, so maybe it's C? But I'm not entirely sure.

Okay, I think I've got it. The costs of writing test specifications would be a cost of prevention, not detection. I'm going to go with option C for this one.

I'm a bit confused on the differences between the cost categories. I'll need to review my notes to make sure I understand them properly before answering this.

I'm pretty sure the costs of re-running a test case to verify a fix would be considered a cost of detection. That seems like the most obvious answer to me.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the definitions of the different cost categories.

If I recall correctly, Geth is open source, which means it's accessible for everyone to contribute. That makes option C look familiar.

But wouldn't fixing field failures also be considered a cost of detection, since it involves identifying and correcting defects found in the field?

I agree with Delfina, because detecting defects during testing is part of the cost of detection.

C, no doubt about it. Though I wish I could just wave a magic wand and make all the defects disappear!
