I feel like option C might be the one that's not true since implementing formality can sometimes be counterproductive, but I need to double-check that.

I think option B sounds familiar because we practiced a question about testing without formal requirements, but I can't recall if that's true for all scenarios.

I remember discussing how detailed test conditions can help with maintainability, especially in changing environments, but I'm not sure if that's always the case.
