I disagree, A seems more demotivating. Constant pressure from management? No thanks!

C is definitely a demotivator. Doing the same thing over and over is exhausting.

I’m torn between A and C. A seems more about communication, but C definitely feels like it would lead to burnout for testers.

I remember a practice question similar to this, and I think option E might be a demotivator too. Relying on user-reported problems seems like a reactive approach.

I'm not sure, but I feel like option D could also be demotivating. Being assessed on failure detection might create pressure instead of encouraging thorough testing.

I think option C sounds like a demotivating factor since doing the same manual tests repeatedly can be really draining.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I'll need to re-read the options and try to put myself in the shoes of a tester to determine what would be most demotivating.

I'm confident I can figure this out. The key is to identify factors that would make testing feel repetitive, unrewarding, or overly focused on finding problems rather than improving the product.

Okay, I think I've got it. The manual regression testing without tools and being assessed on finding critical failures seem like they could be really demotivating.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this. I'll have to review the options and see which ones seem most likely to be demotivating.

This is a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about what factors could demotivate testers.

I'm pretty confident this is related to the storage of virtual machines, so I'll try to recall where imported VMs are typically stored.

Ah, I remember learning about the cabling options for NetApp HCI. I'm confident the correct answers are A and B - the 1-cable and 2-cable configurations.

I believe option D could also be demotivating, as testers might feel pressured to find critical failures.

Ha! These options are a real comedy of errors. Option B is the only one that actually sounds like it might motivate the team. The rest are just demotivational disasters.

Option D is pretty rough too. Assessing testers solely on finding bugs? That's going to lead to a lot of finger-pointing and not a lot of actual improvement.

I'd have to go with option E. Counting problems rather than focusing on quality? That's a recipe for testers to start hiding issues instead of fixing them.

Option C is definitely the most demotivating. Manually running the same regressions over and over? That's a one-way ticket to burnout town.
