Hold up, are we seriously considering not running any tests? That's just asking for trouble. The infrastructure team may have said there would be no impact, but we all know that's not a guarantee.

I believe option A is the most logical choice. It's better to be cautious and ensure everything is working properly before running all the tests.

Option D is just plain lazy. We need to be thorough and make sure the updates haven't broken anything. Running the full suite is the only way to be sure.

I agree with Linn. Gradually running the remaining tests will help confirm the correct functioning of the whole automated test suite.

I think the best approach is to verify the behavior of the automated tests by running a small test first.

I agree, running the full suite right away is too risky. Better to start small and scale up once we're confident everything is working as expected.

I think the best approach is to gradually run the tests and confirm the functionality. We don't want to risk the whole suite breaking if there's an issue.
