   A company is developing a new infotainment system. They have a continuous integration (CI) pipeline that runs software-in-the-loop (SIL) tests on every commit. They also have a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test bench that is used for final validation. The team is noticing that some defects are only found during HIL testing, which is expensive and time-consuming. They want to reduce the number of defects found in HIL. What is the most effective strategy?

   • ARun HIL tests on every commit instead of SIL
   • BImprove the fidelity of the SIL environment to better match the HIL environment
   • CUse model-in-the-loop (MIL) tests in the CI pipeline instead of SIL
   • DRemove SIL tests and rely only on HIL testing
