The GetTransactionData step should be mocked from the end-to-end test case in order to retrieve test data. Mocking is a technique of substituting a part of the system with a fake counterpart, usually for testing purposes1. The GetTransactionData step is responsible for fetching the next transaction item from the queue and assigning it to the TransactionItem argument2. By mocking this step, the developer can avoid interacting with the actual queue and provide a predefined transaction item for testing. This can make the test more predictable, focused, and isolated from external dependencies.
Option A is incorrect, because the SetTransactionStatus step should not be mocked, as it is used to update the status of the current transaction item in the queue, which is an important part of the end-to-end test case2. Option C is incorrect, because the Process step should not be mocked, as it contains the core business logic of the automation, such as navigating to the Reservations section, adding the reservation data, and closing the current reservation2. Option D is incorrect, because the InitAllApplications step should not be mocked, as it is used to log in to the company's desktop application, which is a necessary precondition for the end-to-end test case2.
