Gives confidence Finds new defects

ROI is returned in the long run when we need to execute the same tests at regular intervals

Higher Rate of Defect Detection through Automated Checks

test automation solutions

  • The scripts are as good as the person who wrote them
  • can give a false impression of the quality of the product
  • can prove the existence of defects, but it cannot prove their absence
