Choose ONE option (1 out of 4)

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

Automation bias is defined in Section4.4 - Human Factors in AI Testingof the ISTQB CT-AI syllabus. It refers to the human tendency to overly trust, rely on, or defer to automated system outputs. The syllabus explains that this bias arises especially indecision-support systems, where humans may accept AI judgments without adequate verification. This aligns directly with Option B.
Option A is incorrect: automation biasdoesinfluence testing, especially when testers rely excessively on AI outputs. The syllabus cautions about testers adopting the same cognitive biases as end users. Option C is incorrect because autonomous systems are not the primary context; rather,systems supporting human decisionsare most impacted. Option D is incorrect because the quality of human inputmatters significantly, and poorly designed user studies can mask or distort automation bias.
Thus,Option Bis the syllabus-accurate description of automation bias.
