• BRequires an automated testing framework
• CRequires manual intervention
• DValidates an application use case
• EValidates behavior of individual elements of your application

• B

• E

Explanation

Integration testing validates that multiple subsystems or components work correctly together - i.e., the interactions and data flow between them. After unit tests confirm individual components work in isolation, integration tests verify that when those components are combined, they integrate properly (e.g., a PySpark transformation writing to a Delta table that another job reads). Option E describes unit testing (individual elements). Option D describes end-to-end or acceptance testing (full use case). Option B is incorrect - integration tests can be run manually or automated. Option C is incorrect - integration tests are typically automated. Integration testing sits between unit and end-to-end testing in the testing pyramid.
