Manually running regressions? Really? That's like asking a marathon runner to walk the course. Where's the challenge, the excitement, the sense of accomplishment?

I believe option D could also be demotivating, as testers might feel pressured to find failures.

E) Test quality is measured by counting the number of customer/user reported problems. Focusing solely on that metric encourages us to find trivial issues instead of addressing the bigger problems.

That's true, focusing on counting customer reported problems can lead to missing critical issues.

C) The same regressions tests are manually executed by the same testers, for every product release, without regression test tools. Manually running the same tests over and over again? Sounds like a recipe for boredom and burnout.

C) The same regressions tests are manually executed by the same testers, for every product release, without regression test tools. That does sound like it could get monotonous.
