A team is about to release a new version of an e-commerce application. The change log includes a new payment gateway integration, a minor UI text change on the checkout button, and a refactoring of the internal logging service. The team has a limited regression test budget. Which set of regression tests should be prioritized?

Run only the tests that were added or modified in the current iteration, since they are most relevant.

Run only the automated unit tests, since they are fast and cover the refactored logging service.

Run the full automated regression suite, including all UI, API, and unit tests, to ensure nothing is missed.

Run tests covering the payment flow and the logging service, plus a few smoke tests on the checkout UI.

How does continuous integration support ongoing regression testing in agile?

By eliminating the need for regression testing.

By replacing manual testing entirely.

By automatically running regression tests whenever code is integrated.

By running regression tests only at the end of the project.

Why is it important to remove or update obsolete test cases?

To reduce the number of test cases in the suite.

To ensure that all test cases are automated.

To keep the test suite maintainable and avoid false results.

To make the test suite easier to review by stakeholders.

What is a key benefit of running regression tests in a continuous integration environment?

Early detection of integration issues and regressions.

It eliminates the need for test case maintenance.

It reduces the need for automated tests.

It guarantees that no defects will be released.

A team is deciding which test cases to include in their regression suite for the next release. They have a mix of automated and manual tests. What is the primary criterion for selecting tests?

Include all tests that have ever been written to ensure maximum coverage.

Include tests that cover the most critical and frequently used functionality.

Include only tests that are automated to save time.

Include tests that are easiest to run, regardless of their importance.
