What is advantages and disadvantages of automation testing?

Automated testing reduces the dependability of testing on the availability of the test engineers. Automated testing provides round the clock coverage as automated tests can be run all time in 24*7 environment. Automated testing takes far less resources in execution as compared to manual testing.

Automation testing is a software testing technique that involves the use of tools and scripts to automate test cases and verify the functionality of a software application. It has several advantages and disadvantages.It is important to evaluate the specific requirements, complexity, and resources available before deciding to implement automation testing as mechanical steering system. A combination of automation and manual testing approaches may be the most effective strategy in many cases.

Advantages: Saves time, reduces human errors, and improves test coverage. Great for repetitive tasks! 

Disadvantages: High setup cost, not ideal for frequent UI changes, and can’t replace manual testing completely. 

Best when used with manual testing for better results!

Automation testing is a powerful tool that enhances efficiency, accuracy, and test coverage while reducing long-term costs. However, it is not a one-size-fits-all solution and must be used alongside manual testing for optimal results. By balancing both approaches, organizations can achieve effective and reliable software testing.

Informative read! Automation testing definitely brings speed and efficiency to the table, especially for repetitive tasks. It’d be great to also mention the initial setup cost and maintenance as key factors. Overall, a balanced view that’s helpful for teams deciding between manual and automated testing!

Automated testing offers significant benefits like increased efficiency, reduced human error, and the ability to run tests continuously, even outside working hours. However, it requires upfront investment in tools and scripting, and can struggle with testing complex, dynamic user interactions. Balancing automation with manual testing for certain scenarios is often the best approach. What’s your experience with using both?

I’ve found success by combining both—using automation for stable, repetitive cases and manual testing for edge cases.
