Wait, are we sure about D? Isn't it easier to just disable them?

I vaguely recall something about dependencies in test cases, so C might be relevant, but I'm not confident about it being a success factor.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like B could be misleading. Just because a test runs often doesn't mean it should be automated first.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think A sounds a bit too restrictive. Tests should capture enough data to be useful, right?

I remember discussing how automated tests should be flexible, so I think D might be the right choice since we shouldn't just disable tests.

A 2-D array has both a row and a column index, so option C is true. I'll mark the other options as false.

Option C is just begging for trouble. High data dependency makes tests fragile and maintenance a nightmare.

I disagree with option B. The number of times a test needs to be run shouldn't be the only factor in deciding what to automate first.
