Many enterprises are using Automation testing which benefits them hugely, but still there are many organizations which depends on manual testing. With the emergence of AI in tec. many organizations are moving towards automation testing, but why, is it really better, what are the advantages of using an ai based automation tool and how can your organization benefit from it?
Reduce Cost
Starting with automation testing has a relatively low initial cost, but as your organization adopts it, there will be significant investments in tools, infrastructure, and maintenance. While creating valuable automated tests requires human effort, it's crucial to consider the cost of failure and the potential loss of customers, resources, and time. Implementing strong and repeated test suites reduces the risk of issues and bugs in the software, leading to high-quality products, which outweigh any cost savings.
Save Time
Automated testing saves time and effort by allowing test reuse, faster execution, and eliminating manual setup and execution. Once the initial setup is done, tests can be run repeatedly, reducing test time from weeks to hours and enabling continuous testing. Automated tests can be executed any time without extra cost, providing 24/7 availability unlike manual testing.

Foundation for CI and DevOps
Automated tests are integral to Continuous Integration and DevOps, enabling the "Fail fast, Fail early" philosophy by automatically testing every code commit and prioritizing fixing broken tests to ensure a functional mainline code.
Accuracy and Reliability
Automated tests eliminate human error and ensure precision by executing the same steps consistently, providing accurate and quickly accessible results, while also allowing verification of test performance across multiple servers for improved reliability.
Load testing
Automated load testing ensures the application's ability to handle user loads, running thousands of tests simultaneously and simulating millions of users, unlike manual testing, which is often delayed and insufficient for comprehensive load testing, leading to delayed software releases.
These are only some of the capabilities of automation testing that the organizations can take advantage to create an efficient workflow for them and can produce a better product for there users.
