Usually following reasons are main cause of thought regarding Automation in a particular Software Development Project :-
1. Manual Testing takes too much time. (But faster ways of doing the things may not be simulating actual user scenarios? What's the thought)
2. Manual Processes are error prone. (If manual ways of doing can be error prone, then we as Software development team should know the areas which are error prone and try to avoid that user get caught by those errors. Aren't we avoiding the ways to discover those error prone areas?)
3. Automation frees people to do their best work. (How many people really think that Automation really need no manual intervention. Even if we say that an automation runs on its own and don't need a single manual input. Is the person who automated, always relax while automation is running? And does our Automation scripts always work without change? If Yes, are we doing any development or not :) )
4. Automated regression tests provide a safety net. (This is one of the point which seems most reasonable...)
5. Automated Tests give feedback early and Often.
6. Automation can be good return on investment.
We shall be discussing each of these factors in details, before we move on to the things which do not promote Automation much in a Software Development Cycle !!!
"A Developer code should always challenge a Tester and a bug should be more bugging every time for a Developer !!!"
