Question
Your organisation has successfully implemented a Test Automaton Solution (TAS) for a new project which has since been delivered into production via a number of sprints. A series of maintenance releases are now planned. Some improvements were made to the Test Automation Architecture (TAA) as a result of feedback from the early sprints. The TAA improvements affected the TA, and the TAS was changed for the final sprint. The new version of the TAS was generally well received but some performance and usability issues were encountered with the TAS which have yet to be addressed. The test automation engineers supporting the maintenance releases must decide whether to use the enhanced TAS or the version that was used successfully for previous sprints. What is the BEST action to take next?
Options
- APerform an analysis of risks versus benefits for the enhanced TAS and then decide which version
- BUse the previous version because this was proven to work. It will be too risky to use the new
- CUse the new version because, despite some issues, it works, and the live system should not be
- DUse the new version of the TAS for the first maintenance release on a trial basis. If issues are

Explanation
The best action is to perform a risk-benefit analysis of the enhanced TAS before deciding which version to use. This ensures a balanced, informed decision that considers the unresolved issues, potential improvements, and the impact on the live system, rather than relying solely on assumptions or trial-based changes.
