I do not support automated testing,
when,
-sufficient skills& resources are not available to maintain
the automated testing environment.
-automated testing is not providing any solution to the
problems faced during manual testing.Problems related to
time,resources,human intervention while testing the
applications are not getting resolved by automating the
testing process.
I do support
when
-there is time crunch during critical deliverable
-error guessing is used to find out more defects through
manual testing but unable to find, such as memory leaks etc.
- manual testing becomes routine.
- there are insufficient human resources , to progress the
testing process.
-24/7 testing service is required.There are few applications
that need to run continuously for a 24hrs periods of time /
few days / without shutting down the pc's.
-when there are applications to be tested to measure the
performance issues like down time,up time, fail
over/recovery testings, Meantime to failure and meantime
between failures etc.in which human resources cannot be
indulged for longer period of time.
-There is need to train human resources in manual testing,
in order to make them to learn new techniques and improve
the efficiency and effectiveness of testing process.
-testing activities are directly linked to the
organizational growth and in business activities.
