I’m confused about this one. I thought it was around 5-10%, but I might be mixing it up with something else I studied.

I remember reading that testing can be quite expensive, but 70-80% seems way too high. I’m leaning towards 40-50%.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like it’s lower, possibly in the 10-20% range. I saw a question like this in practice.

I think I remember something about testing costs being significant, maybe around 40-50%? That sounds familiar.
