   A financial application's automated tests require a unique customer record for each test case to avoid data collisions. The test data must be created fresh before each run and cleaned up afterward. The architecture currently stores static data files in version control. Which enhancement best addresses the need?

   • AAdd more static data files to version control, one per test case
   • BConfigure the test environment to snapshot and restore the database before each run
   • CUse a shared database with a single set of customer records for all tests
   • DImplement a test data factory that generates data on demand and integrates with the test execution setup and teardown

   After a failed test run, a test analyst needs to determine whether a failure was caused by a change in the application or by a flaky test. The analyst wants to compare the failure's stack trace, screenshots, and environment configuration with those from previous runs. Which architecture capability is most directly needed?

   • ACentralized result storage that retains historical logs, artifacts, and environment metadata
   • BTest data provisioning that supplies unique data for each run
   • CReal-time test execution monitoring that shows progress during the run
   • DAutomated defect creation that opens a bug for every failure
