   A test automation team wants to reduce duplication in their test code. They have noticed that similar test setup steps are repeated across many test classes.

   A test automation team has a large suite of Selenium WebDriver tests. Recently, tests have been failing intermittently due to timing issues. The team suspects that some test methods are using hard-coded sleeps instead of explicit waits. They want to identify all occurrences of Thread.sleep() in the codebase without running the tests. Which approach best addresses their need?

   • AUse a performance profiler to measure the time spent in each test method
   • BReview the test execution logs for entries that indicate long delays
   • CExecute the test suite with a debugger and set breakpoints on Thread.sleep() calls
   • DRun a static analysis tool configured with a rule that flags calls to Thread.sleep()
