When Should a Test Be Automated? - Exampler …
Copyright 1998 by Brian Marick. All rights Should a Test Be Automated? Brian MarickTesting want to automate as many tests as I can. I m not comfortable running a test only if a programmer then changes the code and introduces a bug? What if I don t catchthat bug because I didn t rerun the test after the change? Wouldn t I feel horrible?Well, yes, but I m not paid to feel comfortable rather than horrible. I m paid to be cost-effective. It took me a long time, but I finally realized that I was over-automating, thatonly some of the tests I created Should be automated . Some of the tests I was automatingnot only did not find bugs when they were rerun, they had no significant prospect of doingso.
