   A testing team ran a PDCA cycle to improve their defect detection rate. The Check phase shows that the new testing technique increased defect detection by 20%, but also increased test execution time by 40%. The team has a constraint: they cannot increase test execution time beyond 25%. What should they do in the Check phase?

   • AStandardize the new technique because it increased defect detection.
   • BModify the constraint to allow a 40% increase in execution time.
   • CAnalyze the trade-off between defect detection and execution time to determine if the improvement is acceptable given the constraint.
   • DDiscard the technique because it violates the execution time constraint.
