   A team has a large, complex application with a slow end-to-end test suite (2 hours) and a fast unit test suite (5 minutes). They are under pressure to release more frequently. The test manager proposes a 'shift-left' strategy. Which combination of actions best balances fast feedback with adequate coverage?

   • ARun the unit tests on every commit, run a subset of critical end-to-end tests on every merge, and run the full end-to-end suite nightly.
   • BRun the full end-to-end suite on every commit and eliminate the unit tests to save time.
   • CRun the full end-to-end suite nightly and the unit tests only at the end of the iteration.
   • DRun only the unit tests and rely on production monitoring to catch any integration issues.
