Automation - Is it Really Required ?
We keep hearing a lot about automation testing. Some people argue in favor of it and some other way round. Is automation a complete replacement of manual testing? No, manual testing is required now, then and forever, it can not be completely replaced by any technology, let automation alone.
So should companies automate the test scenarios, should they invest more in terms of resources, time and money, how its going to benefit in longer run?
Though automation testing can not replace 100% manual testing, it is important to automate all possible scenarios. It helps to complete testing faster, increases test coverage and help catch bugs early in cycle. All these saves money, increases revenue and wins user community trust. This helps to achieve faster release cycle, and moreover you have all your test scripts, configurations etc in a single place instead of lying un-managed.
