Its funny how so many think that automation is the key to everything in test... the problem with this is that you cant just slot this in. Here are a few of many things to consider.
- Selection of the appropriate test automation tool.
- Time and cost to create the test scripting.
- Training of people in the use of the tool.
- Additional costs of maintaining the scripting.
With all the risks though do come a number of benefits.
- Faster regression testing.
- repeatable tests (while this is the case with manual often steps are not followed exactly.
- greater reliability
- many of the parts are reusable
- must be fully comprehensive to enable the scripting to function
