According to the syllabus, which of the following is a correct statement about automation in...

Automation and System Criticality:

For mission-critical systems, automation ensures consistent, repeatable testing, particularly for high-risk functionalities.

As risk increases, automation plays a key role in validating critical features and reducing the chance of human error.

For non-critical systems, the focus on automation is generally reduced, depending on cost-benefit analysis.

Analyzing the Options:

A: Correctly states that automation is prioritized for mission-critical systems as risk increases.

B: Incorrectly diminishes the importance of automation for non-critical systems without clarifying context.

C: Misrepresents automation levels as equal for critical and non-critical systems.

D: Incorrectly dismisses automation for non-critical systems, which can be valuable depending on the context.
