The idea of Automation Testing of course sounds exciting. What could be better than writing a script only one time, and then re-executing it for up to hundreds, even thousands, of times? 

With Automation Testing, your team can increase test coverage, find bugs earlier, and still be able to use manual testing where it truly delivers values. 

But most of the time, that’s just not enough to get everyone to buy into Test Automation. This is especially true for top management and the CFO who would ask for a convincing ROI analysis for such a major investment like Automation Testing.

Making the switch from Manual Testing to Automation Testing can be worthwhile. However, this modern method of software testing comes with several challenges. If you fail to resolve them, Automation Testing won't deliver the values it should.

In this article, let's identify the 5 most common challenges your QA team might face when they start to dip their toes into Automation Testing.

We all know that Manual Testing and Automation Testing are the 2 types of Software Testing. Both have the same purpose: to help testers run test cases; and then compare the test results with the requirement. 

But, while Manual Testing works fine for certain test cases, it is time- and cost-consuming in the long run. If you are applying modern software development methods such as Agile, chances are that you have lots of iterative development cycles. These methods require you to run a test multiple times. In this case, Manual Testing, with its repetitive and error-prone nature, is no longer suitable.

Test Automation can help you automate the execution of lots of tests and testing phases. In this article, we will discuss some of the most popular types of automation testing. It will be a checklist for you to choose the right automated tests for your next project.
