Collection of Data in the Process of Scientific Research of Security Phenomena using Basic Techniques of Testing Methods

Research, as well as scientific research, of security phenomena is a process that includes various activities in order to gain certain knowledge about a phenomenon, behavior or action, which has a security character. We have various types of research, as well as methods that are used in the process of scientific research of security phenomena. One of those methods is the test method, which belongs to the group of methods that deal with collecting, that is, obtaining data, both in theoretical and empirical scientific research, or in combined theoreticalempirical research. The data is obtained directly and in verbal contact between the scientific researcher and the subject through the research method. It is a classic method of social science methodology that is also very applicable in the field of security sciences. The research method uses three basic techniques for its operationalization in the scientific research process: interview (scientific conversation), survey, and test. Due to their pervasiveness, systematicity, and economy, these techniques have found significant application in the investigation of phenomena of a security nature.
