There are numerous reasons why automation testing has edge over conventional style of manual testing. Here we will list all those factors that are important when we consider automation style of testing.
- If you go for manual testing for all possible scenarios then it will be very time consuming.
- Suppose if website or software is multi lingual then it wouldn’t be possible to get that checked through manual method.
- Automation testing is all about script writing. When you automated test then there is no need of further human intervention. You can go to sleep and software would be doing its work properly.
- Speed of test execution increases at very large scale. Work done through tool in hours will be equivalent to manual work of many days.
- Coverage of test widely increases when we consider automation of any product.
- Because of being time taking, manual testing can bring in errors. Testers often get bore while working and this make whole scenario more prone to errors.
Which Test cases are Required Automation?
Not all test cases are required to be automated. There are certain conditions that are required to be met. If condition being met then one can go for the automation.
- All critical test cases must be executed
- Regression testing
- Those cases that are tough to perform manually can be handled through automation.
These test cases should be handled mainly manually:
- New test cases
- When requirements for test case changing frequently
- Test cases that are executed on Ad-hoc basis.
