Explanation

Shifting from waterfall to DevOps with CI/CD compresses release cycles dramatically - code integrates and deploys continuously rather than in long phases - so manual testing simply can't keep pace. Option B is correct because CI/CD pipelines require automated tests to run on every code commit, enabling "continuous testing" that gates each build automatically.

Why the distractors fail:

• A is wrong because waterfall testing is typically phase-gated and manual, which breaks down entirely when releases happen multiple times per day.
• C is wrong because DevOps actually reduces upfront requirements analysis time; the approach favors iterative feedback over extensive pre-planning.
• D is wrong and backwards - CI/CD demands more technical skill from testers (scripting, framework knowledge, pipeline integration), not less.

Memory tip: Think of the "C" in CI/CD as also standing for Continuous testing - automation is the engine that makes the whole pipeline run without human bottlenecks at every gate.
