   A team is designing acceptance tests for a new online course enrollment system. The use case 'Enroll in Course' has a main flow and several alternative flows, including 'Course is full' and 'Payment fails'. The team has limited time and must decide which tests to execute. Which approach best balances coverage and efficiency?

   • ATest the main flow and the two most likely alternative flows: 'Course is full' and 'Payment fails'.
   • BTest only the alternative flows, assuming the main flow is covered by unit tests.
   • CTest only the main flow to ensure the basic functionality works.
   • DTest all possible alternative flows, including rare ones like 'Instructor cancels course'.

   An e-commerce platform is developing a new checkout process. The use case 'Complete Purchase' includes the main flow: 'Customer adds items to cart, enters shipping address, enters payment information, and confirms order.'

   • BA test that adds items to the cart and then immediately confirms the order without entering address or payment.
   • CA test that verifies the system displays an error when the customer enters an invalid shipping address.
   • DA test that follows the steps in order: add items, enter address, enter payment, confirm order, and verify the order confirmation page.
