This seems like a pretty straightforward question. I'd go with option A - running a small set of tests first to verify everything is working as expected, then gradually running the full suite. That way I can catch any issues early without wasting time running the entire suite if there are problems.

Hmm, running a small set of tests first seems like the way to go. I mean, who wants to be the one to tell the boss that the whole automated suite is busted after an 'update'? Not me!

Hold up, are we seriously considering not running any tests? That's just asking for trouble. The infrastructure team may have said there would be no impact, but we all know that's not a guarantee.

Option D is just plain lazy. We need to be thorough and make sure the updates haven't broken anything. Running the full suite is the only way to be sure.

I agree with Linn. Gradually running the remaining tests will help confirm the correct functioning of the whole automated test suite.

I agree, running the full suite right away is too risky. Better to start small and scale up once we're confident everything is working as expected.

I think the best approach is to gradually run the tests and confirm the functionality. We don't want to risk the whole suite breaking if there's an issue.
