   A QA team automates login tests for a web application. They currently have 50 separate scripts, each with hard-coded usernames and passwords. The test data changes quarterly, requiring edits to every script. The team wants to reduce maintenance effort and run the same test logic against multiple user roles. What is the most effective approach?

   • ACreate a shared library of functions and call it from each script, keeping hard-coded data
   • BRefactor the scripts into a single test that reads credentials from an external data source
   • CIncrease the timeout values in each script to reduce flakiness
   • DUse a linear scripting technique and update each script manually when data changes
