This looks like a tricky one. I think I'll need to carefully consider each option and how they relate to determining a likely 'go live' date.

Okay, let me think this through. The question is asking about the specific reasons for cost savings, so I'll need to carefully consider each option and how it relates to that.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The information on Oracle patches was covered extensively in our study materials, so I should be able to spot the false statement.

I heard the test team is planning a bake sale to fund their timesheets. Gotta love creative budgeting.

Did someone say 'timesheets'? I'm already snoozing. Give me (iv), (v), and (vi) - that's the data I need to determine the 'go live' date.

I see your point, let's focus on (iv), (v), and (vi) for now and then reassess if we need to consider the other criteria.

True, but don't forget about (iii) - the test team's timesheets can provide valuable insights into testing effort.

Hmm, I'm not sure the test team's timesheets are that relevant. Let's stick to the actual testing metrics - (i), (ii), and (vi) look good to me.

Timesheets? Really? I'd much rather see how the actual testing is going. (i), (iv), and (vi) are the way to go.

Definitely, the number of tests executed, passed, and the rate of defects found are key indicators of progress.

I agree, timesheets don't really show the progress of testing. (i), (iv), and (vi) are more important.

I believe (i), (ii), (vi) are also important. Number of tests planned versus executed, high priority defects, and rate of defects found are key indicators for 'go live' date.

The 'go live' date is crucial, so we need to look at the number of high priority defects, the test progress, and the defect rate. (ii), (iv), and (vi) seem like the best combination.
