   Before a major release, the automation report shows 5 critical failures in the order-processing module. The development team claims these are pre-existing issues that also occurred in the previous release, which was shipped successfully. The product owner asks for a release recommendation. What should the test lead do?

   • AAsk the development team to provide a workaround for the failures before release.
   • BRecommend a no-go decision because critical failures in a core module pose an unacceptable risk, regardless of whether they are pre-existing.
   • CRecommend a go decision if the development team promises to fix the failures in the next sprint.
   • DRecommend a go decision because the failures are pre-existing and the previous release was successful.

   A test automation report shows that the suite has a 70% pass rate, but the failures are all in legacy modules that are scheduled for replacement next quarter. The development team has spent 40 hours this sprint fixing broken tests. The project manager asks for a summary. What is the best way to communicate this?

   • AReport the 70% pass rate as a sign of poor quality and recommend a full test overhaul.
   • BRecommend increasing the automation budget to fix the failing tests.
   • CProvide the detailed list of failed test cases and ask the project manager to decide.
   • DExplain that the automation effort is being spent on legacy modules that are being replaced, and recommend reducing effort there.
