Achieving full potential of Software Test Automation

Abstract Software test automation can dramatically reduce costs and speed up time-to-market, but its full potential cannot be achieved without a carefully planned, scaleable and maintainable process. Without the right strategy, expensive test automation tools may become “shelfware.” This paper will first discuss the key benefits of software test automation, and examine the most common implementation tactics. It will then analyze the key reasons why test automation efforts often fail to meet their potential. Finally, it will show how using a keyword-based test automation strategy enables organizations to avoid those problems. View this Article at Full Article
