Selecting the most popular tools on the market.

Assigning the most senior testers to lead the implementation.

An organization has implemented a test strategy that includes a goal to increase test automation coverage. After six months, the automation coverage has increased, but the number of defects found in production has also increased. What is the most likely cause?

The automation is not effectively detecting defects because it is not aligned with risk areas.

The automation is working correctly, but the increase in production defects is unrelated.

The automation is introducing new defects into the code.

The testers are not running the automated tests frequently enough.

A test manager is implementing a new test strategy that requires a significant shift in testing responsibilities from a central QA team to individual agile teams. The central QA team is resistant to the change. What is the most effective way to manage this transition?

Keep the central QA team in place and have them oversee the agile teams' testing.

Immediately transfer all responsibilities to the agile teams and disband the central QA team.

Offer early retirement packages to the central QA team members.

Involve the central QA team in the implementation planning and provide training for their new roles.

A multinational company has agile teams in different countries with varying regulatory requirements. The test strategy must be consistent but also comply with local regulations. What is the best way to achieve this?
