What is a primary benefit of model-based testing compared to scripted testing?

It guarantees that all defects are found before release.

It automatically generates test cases from a model, improving coverage and reducing manual effort.

It eliminates the need for any test documentation.

It requires less expertise from testers because models are simple to create.

When comparing model-based testing with scripted testing, what should an organization consider?

The cost of model creation and maintenance versus the benefits of automated test generation.

Scripted testing is always cheaper than model-based testing.

Model-based testing requires no test oracles.

Model-based testing is always superior to scripted testing.

A test manager is considering adopting model-based testing for a legacy system that has no formal specification. The only documentation is outdated user manuals. What is the most appropriate first step?

Use the outdated manuals to create the model, as they are the only available documentation.

Ask developers to write a new specification before starting MBT.

Create a model based on the actual behavior of the system by exploring it and interviewing experienced users.

Skip modeling and continue with scripted testing, as MBT is not suitable for legacy systems.
