Re-explain
Good Candidates for Automation:
- Repetitive tests executed frequently
- Regression test suites
- Data-driven tests with multiple datasets
- Tests requiring precise timing or calculations
- Performance and load testing scenarios
- Tests that run across multiple environments
Poor Candidates for Automation:
- One-time or ad-hoc tests
- Tests requiring human judgment (usability, visual validation)
- Tests for unstable/frequently changing features
- Complex user interactions that are hard to automate
- Tests where automation cost > manual testing cost
Cost-Benefit Analysis:
ROI = (Manual Testing Cost Saved) - (Automation Development + Maintenance Cost)
