   A team runs a nightly regression suite of 500 UI tests across three browser configurations. The tests are stable but take over four hours, and the team wants results available by the next morning. They also need to ensure that if a test environment is unavailable, the suite still attempts to run on a backup environment. Which capability of the test automation architecture is primarily required to meet these needs?

   • ATest data provisioning that generates unique data for each test run
   • BIntegration with a defect tracking tool to automatically log failures
   • CScheduling and execution management that distributes tests across agents and handles environment fallback
   • DResult reporting that aggregates pass/fail status across all browser configurations

   A test automation architecture produces large volumes of logs and screenshots for each test run. The team wants to retain these artifacts for 90 days for compliance, but storage costs are a concern. They also need to quickly search logs for specific error patterns. Which result reporting and logging approach best balances these needs?

   • AKeep logs only for the latest run and discard older ones
   • BStore compressed logs in a searchable central repository with automated archiving after 90 days
   • CStore logs in a version control repository for easy access
   • DStore all logs in plain text on a network share and delete after 90 days
