why should I automate mysoftware testing?

Answer Posted / sid

The Benefits of Automated Testing Manually testing software
is a time-consuming and often tedious process, one which
cannot guarantee consistency of testing across releases and
across platforms. Additionally, time constraints often do
not afford us the luxury of being able to manually test and
retest our applications before they are
released. Inevitably the question remains, “Did any
critical bugs go undetected?”

Automating your testing leads to a better use of your
resources. Skilled testers are freed up to put more effort
into designing better tests while machines that would
otherwise lie idle overnight can be used to run
unattended automated tests.
• Providing more coverage of regression testing.
• Reducing the elapsed time for testing, getting your
product to market faster.
• Improving productivity of human testing.
• Improving the re-usability of tests.
• Providing a detailed test log.
