Wipro's Automation Checkerboard: A Roadmap for Test Automation

Harry1222 Dec, 2021Technology

Test automation has characteristics similar to the news we read in a newspaper or watch on television. It keeps changing every day, and it needs to be refreshed regularly, lest it loses its intrinsic value. Usually, test automation is an afterthought largely driven due to schedule slippages in upstream development. The typical approach to automation is an ROI computation that compares the investments against the effort savings brought in by automation. Developing an automated test upstream is cheaper than developing the same script much later in the development lifecycle. Due to this dynamism, the traditional ROI model will not predict the benefits correctly.
