Today's Business World need to control their business they are very careful and in a critical applications in all functional tests to ensure that all business processes work as expected. By implementing automated functional testing, companies can dramatically improve the test speed and accuracy and to get higher return on investment and significantly reduce risk. Testing-WHIZ' s goal of automated test execution is to minimize the amount of manual work involved in test execution and gain higher coverage with large number of test cases which lead to cost savings and productivity gains. It is inevitable to understand that automation brings real benefits when an application evolves and is tested repeatedly over time. Thus, we streamline the enhancements made to the applications without compromising on rigorous and repetitive testing.

    I also think that the automated software testing is more efficient than manuual software testing.

    Automated testing is great in principal, but it really runs in to issues when you have to change something. Its OK for parts of your system where the interfaces are not expected to change, but for others under development it can produce more work not less

    I completely agree, but that's why you coordinate your development effoorts with your qa team and you advise them as to what you're planning on change so they can program your side at the same time you complete your development. If your QA has your automation setup correctly, he can update the behavior in one spot versus several locations.

      There are some Pros of the automation testing i'm indicating below as

      1. If you have to run a set of tests repeatedly, automation is a good for you.

      2. It gives you the ability to run automation against code that frequently changes to catch regressions in a timely manner.

      3. Aids in testing a large test matrix (different languages on different OS platforms). Automated tests can be run at the same time on different machines, whereas the manual tests would have to be run sequentially.

    (I have 8 years experience in quality assurance) 5 of which I've been doing automation

    1. Automation is more effective.. however to get to automation you need to invest a lot upfront (specially if you are focusing on functional UI testing)
    2. WebDriver /Selenium2 is the best I've seen out there.
    3. Best use of automation: data driven testing <-- test large sets of data combinations.

    Hope this helps.
