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.

D) Automated tests that fail due to changes in the requirements of the SUT should be promptly fixed rather than disabled from the test suite

Ha! Disabling failing tests? What is this, amateur hour? Real pros just add more duct tape until it works.

Option A is too restrictive. Automated tests should capture all the data needed for a thorough comparison, not just the bare minimum.

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.

Option D seems the most logical to me. Disabling failing tests is just a temporary fix - they should be updated to reflect the new requirements.
