Overview
Automation Tools has several benefits. If a project has thousands of test cases, it might not be possible or practical to run them manually at least once or multiple times. Software test tools and automation provide a more efficient and effective way to execute tests and save time.
Benefits of Automation Tools
The main benefits of automation tools are as follows:
- Speed
- Efficiency
- Accuracy
Speed
Consider how long it would take to manually try a few thousand test cases for the Windows calculator. You might average a test case every 5 seconds or so. Automation might be able to run 10,100 or even 1000 times that fast.
Efficiency
You can’t do anything else while you are busy running test cases. If you have a test tool that reduces your time to run your tests, you have more time to plan and think up new tests.
Accuracy
After trying a few hundred cases, your attention span will wane, and you’ll start to make mistakes. A test tool will perform the same test and check the results perfectly every time.
Relentlessness
Test tools and automation never tire or give up. They can keep going and going.
Repository
Build a common repository of all Test Plans, scripts, and results. Testing of properties of GUI-based objects is possible.
