Answer
- A It is often developed by a different, ideally independent team
- B A classic program without AI can also act as a pseudo-oracle if it performs the same task
- D It only needs to match functional behavior, not meet the same non-functional requirements
Explanation
For a functional back-to-back test, the pseudo-oracle only needs to produce the same output; it does not have to be as fast or as lean. That often makes it cheaper. It is usually built by a different, preferably independent team, for example with a different framework, algorithm or settings. Sometimes a classic program without AI that performs the same task is enough.
