Option D? Really? Move the data setup to the constructor? That's like putting the cart before the horse. What is this, amateur hour?

Hmm, I'm torn between B and C. Maybe I'll just flip a coin. Or better yet, I'll ask the developer sitting next to me. They'll definitely know the right answer.

I'm a big fan of Option A. Turning off all those triggers, flows, and validations will definitely speed things up. Who needs all that extra stuff anyway?

I think using @testSetup method in the test class could also be a good option.

But wouldn't it be better to have a separate TestDataFactory for the setup?

I'm going to have to go with Option B. Creating a TestDataFactory and calling it from each test method seems more modular and reusable than the other options.

Option C seems like the best solution. Setting up the prerequisite data in a @testSetup method will ensure it's only run once before the tests, rather than in each individual test method.
