- B. The automated test cases will not contain the expected result
- C. False alarms, that are unlikely to occur in the real world, will be observed during testing
- D. The process of configuring the TAS will be error-phone due to manual intervention

NEW QUESTION # 16
A web application was released into production one year ago, it has regular release which follow a V-model lifecycle and testing is well-established and fully integration into the development lifecycle. You have beenasked to implement a TAS for the regression test suite. The regression tests have been developed via the GUI and are expected to be run at least four times a month, for each planned release, for the whole operation solution life of the system (six years).
