Here are some key points you need to consider:

• The tool supports the technology stack on which your application is based.
• The tool’s licensing and support should be cost-effective and fit in your testing budget.
• The tool has comprehensive documentation and tutorials for guiding how to use it.
• The tool generates great test logs for test execution analysis, status reports and defect diagnosis.
• You must have good programming skills to be able to use the tool.

Automated tests can cover various use cases. Highly continual tasks, such as log-ins, tasks that are time consuming if done manually, tasks that include inputting large volumes of data are some examples of potential test cases that can be automated. We use automated tests to cover regression testing, GUI testing, API testing, performance testing.

Not really. Like, you can never automate testing the entire appearance or your app’s user interface. If you require getting the greatest test coverage possible, you can’t rely on automation testing only – you need manual testing as well. Besides, there are always partitions in the application under test where automation tools aren’t able to execute the job as well as humans can, and if they do the same, it might not be worth the investment.

Probably, you need both manual and automated testing to get the best test coverage. Manual testing takes more time, but some test cases can only be executed manually. Automated testing is extremely faster than manual testing but it doesn’t always work on small projects. Remember, test automation is only a tool in the QA programmer’s hands. It’s not a solution to all issues.

For automated testing you have to spend some upfront cost, but it can be very cost-effective for a long-term approach. If you are confused whether you require automation testing, try to evaluate how much manual testing will cost you. Would it be less expensive to automate? Keep in mind, however, that if you don’t have a detailed manual testing process, automation testing will cost you much more, because you can’t execute automated tests without doing it manually first.

Initially, you need to define the scope for automation. What do you require to automate? We recommend that you start with small, moving a little testing part from manual to automated. If this doesn’t work much, please reach out to us. We can provide a better recommendation once we understand your situation completely.
