質問 # 49
Which of the following are true of product use testing?
I. Alpha testing is usually done in the development lab to find and eliminate the most obvious design defects or deficiencies II. Beta testing is done to test all product functions in a breadth of field situations to find any faults III. Alpha, beta and gamma testing should be done for every new product development project IV. Gamma testing measures the extent to which the product solves the identified customer problems
- A. II, III, IV
- B. I, II, IV
- C. I, II, III, IV
- D. I, II, III
正解：B
解説：
Product use testing is a critical phase in new product development to ensure the product functions as intended and meets customer expectations before full-scale launch. Here are the verified truths about product use testing:
I. Alpha testing is usually done in the development lab to find and eliminate the most obvious design defects or deficiencies. This stage focuses on identifying and fixing major issues with the product prototype by testing it internally within the organization.
II. Beta testing is done to test all product functions in a breadth of field situations to find any faults. This stage involves external testing with actual users in real-world environments to uncover any remaining issues that were not detected during alpha testing.
III. Gamma testing is not always necessary for every new product development project. It is an extensive form of testing where the product is used extensively by real customers for an extended period, often used for products requiring high reliability or those that have significant impact on users. Thus, statement III is not universally true.
IV. Gamma testing measures the extent to which the product solves the identified customer problems. This final stage of testing verifies that the product effectively addresses the needs and issues it was designed to solve.
Hence, the correct answer is C: I, II, IV.
