The document discusses the need for automating testing for localized software products to reduce costs and meet shrinking schedules with minimal resources. It proposes automating regression and integration testing for localized software by mapping manual test cases to automated scripts. This would provide flexibility to run all test cases, specific test cases, or specific languages. The benefits of test automation include production of reliable systems, improved test quality, reduced effort, and minimized schedules when combined with manual testing. However, automation requires the right tool and process to achieve these benefits and cannot replace manual testing entirely.
