The F in the mnemonic FIRST stands for Fast Which option correctly states the meanings of the other four letters (IRST)?
SELECT ONE OPTION
Correct Answer: D
The mnemonic FIRST is used to describe good unit tests in Agile software development. Each letter stands for a quality that the tests should possess:
* F - Fast: Tests should run quickly.
* I - Isolated: Tests should not depend on each other.
* R - Repeatable: Tests should yield the same results every time.
* S - Self-Validating: Tests should have a boolean output (pass or fail).
* T - Thorough: Tests should cover every part of the code.
Option D correctly states the meanings of the letters IRST in the context of the FIRST mnemonic.
