Reality testing: Most people understand that there are consequences to their actions.

现实验证：大多数人都明白他们的行为会产生一定的后果。

When people have good reality testing, they can predict the most probable outcomes their behavior will produce.

如果人们对现实有一个好的验证，他们就可以预测他们的行为将会产生的最可能的结果。

For this reason, sensing capability must always be framed by reality testing. Even the most gifted sensor may need to validate his perceptions with a trusted adviser or a member of his inner team.

由于这个原因，感觉能力一定要有通过事实测试来检验，即使是最富于直觉的人也要求证于他信任的咨询专家或是他内部团队中某人。

Reality: If our ultimate goal was "efficient software development and testing," then having stable and well-defined requirements up-front might be a must.

事实：如果我们最终的目标是“有效率的软件开发和测试”，那么稳定和定义良好的需求在最开始是必须的。

While this might not be feasible for every organization, every attempt should be made to create a performance testing environment that is representative of reality.

尽管这不一定对每个组织都切实可行，但每个尝试都应创建一个能够代表真实情况的性能测试环境。
