The need for automation

Automation is a proven mechanism for improving the quality, efficiency, risk reduction and cost effectiveness. Manual software testing is tedious, exhausting and often repetitive not only for source code changes and other situations like multiple operating environments and hardware configurations. An automated testing tool is able to re-run predefined actions, compare the results to the expected behavior and report the success or failure of these manual tests to a test engineer. Once automated tests are created they can easily be repeated and can be extended to perform tasks impossible with manual testing.
