Insights:

The value of test automation comes into play based on how many times any given test can be repeated. Test cases that run frequently and that require large data sets to carry out the same action are ideal choices for automation.

What other ideal test cases for automation would you add to the list?

• Tests that are effort or time-intensive when done manually

• Tests prone to human error

• Repetitive tests that run across multiple builds

• Tests that require numerous or diverse data sets

• Tests that run across different hardware, software platforms, and configurations

• Tests that are simply impossible or not feasible to run manually
