Industry Expectations
3
• Increased Test Coverage
• Test More
• Test Fast
• Defect Free System
• Improved Accuracy

Overview
4
Frequent releases - Increased need of regression execution
Extensive regression suite – Unfeasible test effort
Less regression time – Reduced test coverage / Defect leakage
Manual
Hurried development – Fragile non scalable scripts
Last minute modifications – Costly to fix
Frequent change in requirements - Unstable tests
Automation
An automation suite that
grows in parallel
has control over current features
ensures additional test coverage of new features
The only way out is

Automation in Agile Environment
5
Usually automation happens at the end but with quick turnaround time required for
frequent release testing becomes strenuous. That means just manual testing may
not suffice.

Why not automate as soon as the test cases are identified and written?
