A municipal canoe-lock instructor wants a Chapter 5 skills item that asks candidates to pick few-shot versus chaining for a given story. Why is that the wrong focus for GenAI-5.2.1?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Chapter 2 is the toolbox for picking how to prompt; Chapter 5 checks whether the tester actually has the skill set—engineering prompts, reviewing output, seeing risk, sanitizing data. Do not turn a skills item into a technique-selection quiz.
Full Explanation
GenAI-5.2.1 addresses essential skill and knowledge areas such as prompt engineering, context windows, review of AI testware, risk awareness, sanitization, and right-sizing. Selecting among prompting techniques belongs to Chapter 2. A municipal canoe-lock instructor who wants a Chapter 5 skills item that asks candidates to pick few-shot versus chaining for a given story is aiming at the wrong chapter focus: Chapter 5 asks whether testers have those capabilities, not which technique to pick for a story. Claiming Chapter 5 forbids any mention of prompts in tester skill lists is false; prompt-engineering capability is listed, technique choice is Chapter 2. Saying few-shot and chaining are illegal on municipal projects invents a ban. Claiming Chapter 5 only covers manager strategy slides denies tester skill content. Exam caveat: items should stay on capability presence, not on technique choice for a story. Operational check: rewrite the canoe-lock item to ask whether testers can craft prompts, review outputs, sanitize data, and right-size models rather than which Chapter 2 technique to select. Keep civic testware subject to the same review discipline you would apply to human-authored packs.
