   A QA team needs to run a nightly regression suite that requires a specific version of a legacy database and a particular set of environment variables. The team wants to ensure every test run uses the same configuration and can be reproduced on any developer's machine. Which approach best meets this requirement?

   • AUse a shared network drive to store the database files and a script that sets environment variables before each test run.
   • BCreate a Docker image that includes the database and environment variables, and run the tests in a container built from that image.
   • CInstall the database and set environment variables manually on each developer's machine and on the CI server.
   • DDocument the required database version and environment variables in a wiki page and ask developers to follow the instructions.

   A test automation infrastructure includes multiple test agents that run tests in parallel. The team wants to proactively identify when an agent becomes unresponsive or runs out of disk space. What should they implement?

   • AIncrease the disk space on all agents to prevent running out of space.
   • BSet up monitoring tools that check agent health and disk usage, and send alerts to the team.
   • CHave a team member manually check each agent's status every morning.
   • DRely on test failures to indicate agent problems.
