I recall a similar question where we had to weigh training versus immediate results. Option D seems risky since it relies on just two team members being available for training.

I think option C could be a strong contender too, especially since the development team has experience with CppUnit. But I wonder if they can really focus on testing while also developing.

Okay, let me think this through. The key here is that tests are written before the actual implementation, right? I think option C is the way to go.

Option E: Hire a team of trained monkeys to randomly press buttons on the keyboard. It might not be the most reliable, but it'll be the most entertaining to watch!

Option D seems a bit risky to me. Relying on just two team members to get up to speed on a new tool and build the entire regression suite isn't the most robust plan.
