I don't know, the pilot project seems to be on the right track. 40% automation is a solid start, and they can always adjust the targets for the full project. Option A might be a bit too harsh.

Haha, the business case sounds like something straight out of a management consultant's playbook. 'Reduce by 90% for 100% of the tests' - that's some serious marketing jargon right there.

Agreed. The business case appears to be overly optimistic. A 60% reduction in execution time for the automated tests is still a good start, but the overall target is too aggressive.

D: True, it takes time to fully automate such a large test suite. The pilot project should have been longer.

B: Yeah, I agree. A 60% reduction is good, but aiming for 90% reduction for all tests is too ambitious.

The target of 90% reduction in execution time seems quite ambitious. I'd go with option D - it should be more realistic.

It's important to set realistic targets in order to achieve success.

Maybe the duration of the pilot project was too short, that's why only 40% of tests were automated.
