What testing activities you may want to automate in a project?
This is a very interesting and informative question that
every tester must be able to answer before using automation
in their projects. Automation , as the name suggests is the
use of automatic systems or tools to reduce the manual work.
Regression tests often consist of test cases that are
exhaustive and may be executed more than once. In these
cases repeating the test cases manually may even lead to
overlooking due to monotonous nature of the work. Hence
automation tests should mainly focus on those areas of
testing which is performed repeatedly.
Secondly, there are those areas of an application that are
business critical but may not be always performed. These may
also be automated. It is important to ensure that the tests
automated yield proper ROI (return on investment), i.e. the
results of the tests are useful enough and should not
require any manual intervention to confirm their
authenticity. They should not be any false positives from
the results.
So sanity testing, regresion testing and functional testing
of a project may be automated. Test cases that are executed
just once need not be automated.
