Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
A.
The test pyramid encourages automation at lower levels and may still utilize manual testing at higher levels, but increasing reliance on manual testing is not a key benefit of the concept.
B.
The test pyramid concept aims to optimize the testing process by balancing granularity, isolation, and execution time, leading to greater efficiency and effectiveness.
C.
The test pyramid emphasizes having fewer GUI tests compared to lower-level tests like unit and integration tests.
D.
The test pyramid emphasizes having more tests at lower levels and fewer at higher levels, so an equal number of test cases at each level is not a goal of the concept.
