Select a test case for automation

Community Discussion Automation Test
#1

Which test cases are usually chosen by you for automated testing?

I would first determine whether the test case is critical to the business or if it just serves an end-to-end scenario. Then, I would plan the execution frequency according to automation needs and begin the test run, while monitoring for defects. As the automation test concludes, I would analyze the results within a time frame that does not exceed the time it would take for manual execution.

I agree about that. I would not automate test cases that are seldom executed or that are more quickly executed manually. I also would avoid automation testing on cases that extend to exploratory and usability testing, as these test types could present misuse of time and resources.
