Also highlighted are some Test Automation success stories from Aspire, with test cycle times reduced from 3 weeks to 2 days in one case and a 50-60% reduction in testing time in another case, through the use of automated scripts. Choosing a test automation tool is not an easy exercise and our TA tool evaluation guide can help you get started.

One thing to remember is that Test Automation isn’t without its limitations, and is not a silver bullet for all testing problems. It can only complement manual testing and besides other things, needs a properly defined testing methodology to be successful. Also, keep in mind that no matter what tool you purchase, your largest investment, by far, will be in the processes and people you put in place to use those tools.
