Benefits of Automated Testing Over Manual Testing
Daniel L Asfaw · 2015
There is no enough sound and solid scientific researches expounding the benefits of using automated scripts over manual testing (Samuel R. , 2014). The ones available out there are virtuously promotional trailers made for marketing drive (Udin, 2014). This dissertation is made to fill up this gap. To this end, a comparative analysis of the test results achieved from both automated and manual testing have been piloted. Complementary research inputs such as data collected thru questionnaire, interview and group discussion have also been analyzed and synthesized to back up the outcome. Unified Functional Tester (UFT) is used to build test artifacts and execute automated scripts. The conclusion exhibits that using computerized scripts might offer considerable returns in terms of acquiring enhanced efficiency and enriched accuracy over manually testing, provided that the test is labor intensive, time taking and reoccurring.
