Good and positive ROI (Return on Investment ) is possible with Automation testing.

In conclusion, some automation benefits are clearly evident and some returns are long term. Furthermore, like a coin has 2 faces, though automation testing has many advantages, it has its own disadvantages too. I will cover them in my next post.
