Software Testing White Paper: 10 Important Lessons Learned in Software Test Automation

• Why is automated software testing becoming more popular?
• What are the reasons behind failed automation projects?
• How can you prevent test automation from failing?

Test automation is a critical regression activity in software development projects with short development cycles. As features build up from iteration to iteration and release cycles grow even shorter, the time required to regression test can expand geometrically.

In these circumstances, automation is often viewed as the magic bullet for survival. However, for a variety of reasons, automation projects, often fail.

Through XBOSoft’s years of experience working on countless automation projects, we’ve come up with a list of 10 key “lessons learned” that we believe if followed, can significantly improve your chances of automation success.
