   A team is considering automating the test design process for a large, stable application with well-documented requirements. The goal is to reduce manual effort and increase consistency in test case generation. Which benefit is most directly associated with automating test design?

   • AIt guarantees that all defects are found.
   • BIt eliminates the need for human testers.
   • CIt reduces the time required to create test cases and improves consistency.
   • DIt ensures that all possible test cases are executed.

   A financial application processes high-volume transactions with complex business rules. Risk analysis identified a high likelihood and high impact of calculation errors in the interest computation module, while the user interface (UI) layout has low likelihood and low impact of defects. The team has limited test effort available. Which test technique combination best addresses the identified risks?

   • AApply equivalence partitioning to the interest computation and decision table testing to the UI layout.
   • BApply state transition testing to the interest computation and equivalence partitioning to the UI layout.
   • CApply decision table testing to the interest computation and exploratory testing to the UI layout.
   • DApply exploratory testing to the interest computation and decision table testing to the UI layout.
