Myths about Automated Testing Tools
There are so many people who thinks as wrong belief that by using automated testing tools we can do complete testing with major numbers of errors or issues.
However, there are there are some myths about automated test tools that need to be dispelled:
1) Autoamted testing does not find more bugs then manual testing:
An experience manual tester who is familiar with the system will find more new defects than a suite of automated tests. The skilled tester can be greate rather then the toll sometimes.
2) Automated testing does not fix the development procces:
As harsh as it sounds, tester don't create defects, and developers do. Automated testing does not improve the development proccess although it might highlight some of the issues. By using them we can decrease the speed of deployment time.
3) Automated testing is not necessarily faster:
The upfront effort of automating a test is much higher than conducting a manual test, so it will take longer and cost more to test the first time around. Automation only pays off over time. It will also cost more to maintain.
4) Everything does not need to be automated:
Some things don't lend thenselves to automation, some system change too fast for automation, some test benefit from partial automation- you need to be selective about what you automate to reap the bebefits.
So remember always that in which conditions automated testing is particularly good at, in following methodology only we should use the automation testing tools :
1) Load & Performance Testing.
2) Smoke Testing. Regression Testing.
3) Setting up test data or pre-test Conditons.
4) Repetative test cases.
Thank You !! Have a good day.
