Abstract

The article explains why some testing objectives are not applicable for automation, even if there are sensible goals for testing in general. It examines what makes a good automation objective and analyzes six commonly held, but misguided objectives for test execution automation, explaining the good ideas behind them, where they fail and how these objectives can be modified for successful test automation. The article concludes that while objectives may look great for testing, they may not always translate to test automation.
