    Advantages of Automation Unattended execution of large test sets Relief from tedious, routinely test activities Increased test coverage Accelerated test process Continuous quality control Reusable: You can reuse tests on different versions of an application, even if the user interfaces changes. Automation is expensive to create automation is limited in scope. Bugs in an automated test may mask a bug in the product and go unnoticed for long periods of time.

    Advantages of Automation

    Unattended execution of large test sets Relief from tedious, routinely test activities Increased test coverage Accelerated test process Continuous quality control Reliable: Tests perform precisely the same operations each time they are run, thereby eliminating human error Reusable: You can reuse tests on different versions of an application, even if the user interfaces changes.

    Disadvantages of Automation

    Automation is expensive to create Automation is limited in scope. All applications cannot be automated. Bugs in an automated test may mask a bug in the product and go unnoticed for long periods of time. Proficiency is required to write the automation test scripts. Debugging the test script is major issue. If any error is present in the test script, sometimes it may lead to deadly consequences. Test maintenance is costly in case of playback methods. Even though a minor change occurs in the GUI, the test script has to be re recorded or replaced by a new test script. Maintenance of test data files is difficult, if the test script tests more screens.
