Test Automation is the process of reducing, and when possible, removing human interactions from an existing manual testing process. 21 Confidential | Copyright © 2014 TriZetto Corporation When Should Test Automation Be Used ? ► The Test must be repeated often. ► The test validates a business process or workflow, rather than look and feel, color, table layout, etc. ► The test is very repetitive and/or has a lot of steps, and it is important that those steps be performed exactly the same each time, where manual tester fatigue must be avoided. ► The test needs to drive a significant amount of data to the application. More repetitive execution? Better candidate for automation. 22 Confidential | Copyright © 2014 TriZetto Corporation Why Use Automated Testing Tools? No Testing Manual Testing • Takes Longer Time • More Resources • Slow Process 23 Confidential | Copyright © 2014 TriZetto Corporation Automated Testing Speed Repeatability Coverage Reliability Reusability
