Hold up, are we sure we're not missing something here? I mean, what if the test cases are like socks – you need to have a matching pair before you can call it a day. *laughs* Anyway, I'm sticking with C) 6.

Wow, this question is a real brain-teaser! I'm going to go with D) 7, just to be on the safe side. You can never have too many test cases, right? *chuckles*

Nah, I think the answer is B) 5. Why? Because the question says 'MINIMUM' number of remaining test cases, and with 3 test cases already passed, we need 5 more to fulfill the criteria. Simple logic, my friend.

Exactly, it's all about meeting the minimum requirement to move forward with testing.

That makes sense, we already have 3 passed test cases, so adding 5 more would meet the exit criteria.

I agree with you, the answer is B) 5. We need a minimum of 5 more test cases to fulfill the criteria.

Wait, hold on. If we're following the EX1 exit criteria, then the minimum number of test cases that must be successfully executed is 4. So, the answer is A) 4. Easy peasy!

No, I'm positive it's A) 4. We only need to execute a minimum number of test cases to fulfill the exit criteria.

Hmm, let's see. If we've already executed TC-001, TC-002, and TC-007, and they all passed, then the minimum number of remaining test cases must be the ones that haven't been covered yet. So, I'd say the answer is C) 6.
