What is a primary benefit of keyword-driven testing?

It allows test cases to be created by non-technical team members using action keywords

It eliminates the need for any test automation tool

It requires each test case to be written in a different programming language

It guarantees that all tests will pass

An e-commerce platform is preparing for a seasonal sales event. The team expects a significant increase in user traffic and wants to identify potential bottlenecks in the checkout process. What is the most appropriate use of test automation tools?

Use a monitoring tool to observe production traffic during the event

Run a stress test with an unrealistically high number of users to see when the system fails

Perform a functional test of the checkout process with a single user

Run a load test that simulates the expected peak number of concurrent users performing checkout

Which testing activity is most likely to benefit from the use of test automation tools?

Running a large set of data-driven tests with many input combinations

Conducting a one-time security audit of a newly deployed system

Reviewing test documentation for completeness and accuracy

Performing a usability test with a focus group to evaluate user satisfaction

A small startup has a rapidly changing user interface and a limited budget. They want to automate some tests but are concerned about maintenance costs. Which type of test automation would be most suitable?

End-to-end UI tests using a record-and-playback tool

Unit and API tests that are less dependent on the UI

Manual testing only, because automation is not cost-effective

A large suite of performance tests
