How do you identify the test cases which are suitable for automation?

A test case should be automated if:

1. The task is going to be repeated.
2. It’s going to save time.
3. The requirements, the test, or the task are low risk, stable, and unlikely to change often.
4. The test is subject to human error.
5. The test is time consuming.
6. The test has significant downtime between steps.

What would you need to consider to help decide if a test should be automated what kinds of tests should not be automated?

Tests that should not be automated:

• Tests that you will only run only once.
• User experience tests for usability (tests that require a user to respond as to how easy the app is to use).
• Tests that need to be run ASAP.
• Tests that require ad hoc/random testing based on domain knowledge/expertise – Exploratory Testing.

Which all test cases can be automated?

So, test cases can (and should be automated) if:

• Tests are used repeatedly.
• Tests involve a lot of data entry.
• Tests clearly pass or fail.
• Tests deliver an exact result.
• Tests use consistent UI and regular controls.
• Tests are only to do what they’re told — not check anything else.

How to get the most out of automated testing?

To get the most out of your automated testing, testing should be started as early as possible and ran as often as needed. The earlier testers get involved in the life cycle of the project the better, and the more you test, the more bugs you find.

What are the benefits of automation in testing?

The benefit of automated testing is linked to how many times a given test can be repeated. Tests that are only performed a few times are better left for manual testing. Good test cases for automation are ones that are run frequently and require large amounts of data to perform the same action.

Which is better automated testing or manual testing?

Automated tools, while being faster and precise, have some limitations compared to Manual Testing. For one, they just do what they are programmed to do. Hence they cannot replace manual testing.

When to associate automated tests with test cases?

Consider using Visual Studio to associate automated tests with a test case when: You created a manual test case that you later decide is a good test to automate, but you still want to be able to run that test as part of a test plan.
