When will you avoid automated testing?

Answer»

Though automation has its advantages, it’s not a GOOD idea to automate all of your testings. Here are some scenarios when a human tester can do a much better job of testing the software than an automated test suite.

  1. The software or the feature under the test CHANGES frequently. It MEANS you have to update your automated tests often to keep them up to date. Tests can quickly become obsolete and stop providing any value. 
  2. Automated testing is also not suitable for exploratory testing. A human tester can explore the software in a much better way than a computer. 
  3. Unless the automated tests are programmed or CONFIGURED to look for UI issues, they can’t find any problems with the UI. It’s much efficient for a human tester to SPOT any UI inconsistencies or design issues.
