A release is held back whenever the overnight test suite reports a failure. Last month the suite reported failures on nine nights, and on each of the following mornings the release went out on time. On some of those mornings the report reached the release manager only after the release had gone. The team's account of this is not that the rule was quietly waived but that the report came too late to act on.

The team's account depends on which one of the following assumptions?

ANo more than a few of the nine failures the suite reported last month arose from a fault in the suite's own scripts rather than in the code prepared for release.

BThe release manager holds a release back whenever a failure report reaches him before the release is due to go.

COn at least one of those nine mornings the release would not have gone out on time had the release manager seen the suite's report before it went.

DShortening the overnight suite so it finishes before the release manager begins work would be at least as good a use of the team's effort as adding further checks.

EOn at least one of the nine mornings the suite's report did reach the release manager in time for him to act, and the release that went out was one the rule did not require to be held back.
