   A team is preparing a regression test suite for a release that changes the database schema and the login module. The test pyramid for this project shows a large base of unit tests, a moderate layer of integration tests, and a small number of end-to-end tests. The release window is only two days, and the full regression suite takes five days to execute. Which approach best aligns with the test pyramid while respecting the release deadline?

   • ARun only the end-to-end tests because they exercise the full user journey and will catch any schema or login problems in one pass.
   • BRun the full end-to-end suite first, then the integration tests, and skip the unit tests because they are least likely to catch schema-related issues.
   • CRun the unit and integration tests for the changed components first, then the end-to-end tests that cover the login and schema-dependent workflows, deferring unrelated end-to-end tests.
   • DRun the unit tests first, then the integration tests, and finally the end-to-end tests, prioritizing by test speed and the pyramid's recommended order.

   Which of the following is a primary benefit of prioritizing test cases before execution?

   • AIt guarantees that all test cases will be executed within the scheduled time.
   • BIt reduces the total number of test cases needed for the release.
   • CIt ensures that the most important tests are run earlier, reducing the risk of missing critical defects.
   • DIt eliminates the need for regression testing by focusing only on new features.

   A team is developing a new feature and has written unit tests for the business logic, integration tests for the database, and end-to-end tests for the complete user journey. The CI pipeline is taking too long, and the team wants to reduce feedback time. Which action is most consistent with the test pyramid?

   • AReduce the number of unit tests, because they are less valuable than end-to-end tests.
   • BMove the end-to-end tests to a separate nightly pipeline and keep only unit and integration tests in CI.
   • CKeep the current distribution but run the tests in parallel to reduce the overall pipeline time.
   • DIncrease the number of end-to-end tests to cover more user journeys, because they provide the most confidence.
