A software development team needs to release a new feature by Friday. To do so, *both* the code must pass automated testing *and* a manual review by a senior developer. Automated testing takes 2 days and requires the code to be complete. Manual review takes 1 day and can only begin after automated testing is complete. The current date is Monday morning, and no work has begun. To ensure the feature is released by Friday, which two conditions *must* be met? Part 1: When must the code be fully written and submitted for testing? Part 2: When is the latest the manual review can begin?
✓ Correct Answer: Option B
To release by Friday: Manual Review (1 day) must end Thursday, so it must start Wednesday. Automated Testing (2 days) must end Tuesday to allow review to start Wednesday, so it must start Monday. Thus, code must be complete by Monday for testing to start, and review must begin by Wednesday.
