T...Your last sentence pointed the whole thing out. Test Automation is for 'execution' of those automated tests that were built by a human. All a machine does is take what it is told and runs it. No AI here folks. Automation is a way of 'automating' the process of executing tests (or checks as some so stubbornly like to call them, whatever).<br /><br />By leverage a machine you get efficiency gains that relate back improved performance, or perceived performance. The true benefit is to get to the stage where you have multiple machines running tests in parallel. I like to call this the "Illusion of Speed". The total time to run all tests is the same but by dividing up and running sets of tests in parallel you get a perceived compression of time. So if a set of automated tests takes 8 hours to run on one machine then if you had 8 machines and can run all the tests independently (no interdependencies) then you can divide them up across the machines and make it appear that it all ran in an hour.<br /><br />That is the Illusion of Speed, leveraging economies of scale.<br /><br />Jim HazenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844510344016016899.post-1964321112325045142015-03-05T00:12:11.085+13:002015-03-05T00:12:11.085+13:00At the cost side of the equation - another very im...At the cost side of the equation - another very important considiration may be the amount of repetetions (reuse of test automation artifacts) this may change all test automation ROI.
