Question
You work as a TAE for a software vendor that produces bespoke software. Your current project is developing a process control system where data from sensors on the factory floor and human input through a web-based front end, undergoes processing on backend platforms. This results in control instructions that are sent to the production line via a message broker. Your test environment contains all of these components, including the sensors which run in a test harness. These sensors are third-party components that are still under development, so they are often upgraded. The message broker is also a new third-party component which is still receiving regular patches. This requires frequent re-installation of the TAS which takes significant manual effort and there have been several occasions where it was not built correctly due to missing components and had to be rebuilt. Which action is MOST likely to solve this issue with the TAS?
Options
- AAutomated installation from a central repository where component upgrades can be managed.
- BStricter documentation and configuration management of the TAS components.
- CConnectivity checks after installation to verify interoperability between the TAS and the sensors.
- DFunctional testing of relevant TAS components before installation to verify their interoperability

Explanation
The most effective solution is to implement automated installation from a central repository, which ensures that all required components, including updates and patches, are consistently and correctly deployed. This reduces manual effort, prevents human error (like missing components), and provides better control over managing upgrades to third-party components like the sensors and message broker.
