Answer Key

Selecting beta testers

Section A: Quick Questions

A — Potential users, such as other students who would use the app

A — At least two

A — A Year 10 classmate who would use a revision quiz

B — True, if they are potential users of the app

B — Two classmates from the target audience

Section B: Match the Pairs

beta_testers = ["Mia", "Noah"] → A list of at least two testers chosen from the intended audience

tester_role = "potential user" → Beta testers should be potential users who represent the intended audience

Choose at least two beta testers so feedback does not come from only one person's opinion → if len(beta_testers) >= 2:

When the intended audience is Year 10 students, other students can be chosen as the beta testers → audience = "Year 10 students" beta_testers = ["Ava", "Leo"]

beta_testers = ["Developer"] → Only one tester is chosen, and it is the developer, who is not a potential user. At least two testers who represent the intended audience are needed.

audience = "Primary school students" beta_testers = ["Teacher", "Manager"] → The testers do not represent the intended audience. They should be primary school students or similar potential users.

Section C: Definitions

beta testers — Potential users who represent the intended audience and test software before release. Choose at least two, such as other students, so feedback comes from real users.

Section D: Fill in the Blanks

testers = ["Ava", "Liam", "Zoe"]
print(len(testers) >= 2)

testers = ["Ava", "Liam"]
enough = len(testers) >= 2

testers = ["Ava", "Liam"]
count = len(testers)
print(count)

testers = ["Ava"]
testers.append("Liam")
print(testers)

testers = ["Ava", "Liam"]
for tester in testers:
    print(tester)

Section E: Spot the Error

D — A beta test needs at least two testers who represent the intended audience. The check should be count >= 2, not count >= 1.

C — users[:1] picks only one tester. A beta test needs at least two potential users, so it should be testers = users[:2].

C — A single = assigns a value and is a syntax error in an if condition. Use == to check whether the tester group matches the intended audience.

A — need is the string "2", so comparing it with len(testers), an integer, causes a TypeError. It should be the number 2.

B — The list is called testers, but the loop uses tester, which is not defined. This causes a NameError. It should be for t in testers:.
