Software producing companies want to increase their quality and efficiency. They often look at automated test tools as a part of a solution. Not many company’s use test tools, the time it takes to evaluate which test tool that suites the company best costs much in both money and time. An automated test takes a lot of time to implement and introduce in the company To get the whole picture when to automate test we have looked at different test methodologies. Step-by Step Method, Product Life Cycle Method We have also investigated some general information about automated test like cost and when to automate. ATLM (Automated Test LifeCycle Methodology) is a methodology that is used in order to take the correct decisions such as when to automate or not, (ATLM) is a structured methodology aim aiming toward ensuring a successful implementation. We also have some methods of automated tools. The Record/Playback Method, The functional Decomposition Method and The KeyWord Driven Method are a data-driven automated testing methodology. That allows developing automated test scripts that are more “generic”. It requires only that the input and the expected results have been updated.
