It's certainly a test. Though best method is to be sharp on your radar and trick them to a group, then make the climb over/climb under something. This can lead them to being on the ground and make for instant kills.
Also, on normal mode, two head shots will kill a zombie. Don't panic, take a breath and shove them first if you need to line up a good shot.
Defending the safe house is generally viewed as quite a difficulty spike and everyone loses a survivor there.
