Why automated test?

Do you dream about fast, cheap and reliable testing? Do you want larger number of tests in time? You must implement automated tests in your project!

Automated software testing increase efficiency and saves your money. You can use automated smoke tests to check if latest build is complete, stable and if all features are run. These quick tests you can run on every support operating systems and/or browsers at the same time. If you want repeat these tests manually it will be costly and time consuming. Whats more automated tests can be run 24h/day.

Automated tests are more effectiveness and reliable. If you have stable test environment automated tests are repeated in the same way with this same precision. Manual tester even this conscientious can make some mistakes during testing. Automated tests can increase test coverage and are also great for non-functional tests.

Automated tests help developers and QAs. Test Automation saves developer's time to catch problems and increases confidence in product quality.

How to start? First try automated regression tests, which can be run even after every build not only before release. Then implement automated smoke tests which give you confidence if the latest build is ready to test (both manually and automated). Next implement feature tests and remember the shorter test is the better test.
