I don't think fixing field failures would be classified as a cost of detection. It's more of a cost of prevention.

Yes, I think re-running a test case to verify a fix does fall under the cost of detection.

That's a good point, Luke. Option A does involve detecting issues early on in the process.

I'm not sure, but I think option A could also be a cost of detection, as writing test specifications helps in detecting errors.
