Hold up, hold up. You're telling me the test analyst doesn't get to write the code? What is this, some kind of dictatorship?

Well, if I was the test analyst, I'd just automate the 'key' process of making coffee every morning. That's the real backbone of any successful business, right?

Option A? Really? Who writes code in a keyword-driven automation setup? That's just silly.

Hmm, this is a tough one. I'm torn between B and C, but I think C is the better choice. Identifying key business processes is definitely a test analyst's responsibility.

I'm going with Option D. Writing manual tests that can then be automated seems like a logical part of the test analyst's job to me.

Manual tests provide a solid foundation for automation, so Option D makes sense.

Option D is a good choice. Writing manual tests first can help in automating them later.

I believe working with the users to define the key usability aspects of the software is also important for the test analyst. It ensures that the automation aligns with user expectations.

I agree with Vallie. Writing manual tests for the key business processes that can then be automated seems like a crucial task for the test analyst.

Option C is clearly the right answer here. As a test analyst, I'm responsible for identifying the key business processes that need to be tested, not writing code or manual tests.
