Question

On the basis of which factors you would consider choosing automated testing over manual testing?

Answer 1

Choosing automated testing over manual testing depends on the following factors:

• Tests require periodic execution.
• Tests include repetitive steps.
• Tests execute in a standard runtime environment.
• Automation is expected to take less time.
• Automation is increasing reusability.
• Automation reports are available for every execution.
• Small releases like service packs include a minor bug fix. In such cases, executing the regression test is sufficient for validation.
