I’m not convinced that extracting info is enough to find all defects.

Wait, are we really saying the author always makes errors?

I think B is a bit off, developers don’t always write test cases.

I vaguely recall a practice question that mentioned the role of developers in writing test cases, but I don't think that's the main reason defects are found.

I feel like option D could be a possibility too, since errors can happen in the test basis, but I'm not completely confident.

I think option C makes sense because we talked about the cost implications of fixing defects later in the process.

I remember discussing how test analysis helps identify defects early, but I'm not sure if it's just about extracting information.

I've got this! The number of test cases for a decision table with three conditions that is not collapsed is 2^3 = 8. So the answer must be D.

This seems like a pretty straightforward question. The policy clearly states that the vehicle usage must not be commercial, so I'd say this is a constraint.

I'm a bit confused by the terminology in this question. I'll need to make sure I understand the distinction between type 1 and type 2 hypervisors before answering.
