A discount applies to purchases of at least 10 items. Which set of test inputs is most useful for detecting an off-by-one defect at the threshold?
- A
Test only 1 and 20 items, since they are far apart.
- B
Test 9, 10, and 11 items, since they are at and near the threshold.
- C
Test 10 items repeatedly, since it is the qualifying value.
- D
Test only values below 10, since those are invalid.

- B
Avoid automation because automated checks always require more effort than manual checks.
- C
Automate repeatable regression checks, while using human investigation for exploratory and usability questions.

- C
Run regression tests to check that existing behavior still works.
- D
