   A team is planning to introduce model-based testing for a legacy system. The system has no formal specification, and the domain experts are retiring soon. The team wants to preserve their knowledge in test cases. What is the most important factor to consider when choosing the degree of automation?

   • AThe cost of the tool, which is the primary concern.
   • BThe need to capture domain knowledge before it is lost, which may require manual or semi-automated approaches.
   • CThe need to generate as many test cases as possible, favoring full automation.
   • DThe availability of a tool that can reverse-engineer a model from the code.

   A company is deciding on the degree of automation for test generation in a project with a very tight deadline. The system is well-understood and has been tested manually for years. The team has access to MBT tools and the necessary skills. However, the existing test cases are not documented in a model. What is the most important factor that should influence their decision?

   • AThe cost of the MBT tool, which is the primary concern.
   • BThe team's familiarity with manual testing, which makes manual generation the only option.
   • CThe regulatory requirements, which always mandate manual generation.
   • DThe availability of a formal model or specification to automate from.

   Which of the following is an example of semi-automated test case generation?

   • AA tool automatically generates test cases from a state machine and directly exports them to the test management system.
   • BA tester manually creates test cases from requirements and stores them in a spreadsheet.
   • CA tool randomly generates test inputs, and the tester runs them without modification.
   • DA tool generates test cases from a model, and the tester then reviews and adds additional test cases for uncovered scenarios.
