Advantages and disadvantages of automated testing

In 2025, software development companies cannot afford to compromise on quality and speed, which is especially true for such a laborious and time-consuming process as testing. That is why multiple companies have switched to test automation.

    F.A.Q. about automated testing

    • Whether automated testing is better than manual testing depends on the context and the specific needs of a software development project. The choice between automated and manual testing should be based on various factors.

    • Automated testing relies on scripts and software tools to execute predefined test cases quickly and consistently, suitable for repetitive and regression testing. Manual testing involves human testers who interact with the software, applying subjective judgment and exploratory skills, making it better for usability, visual, and exploratory testing. Automated testing is efficient but requires upfront investment, while manual testing is adaptable but slower and labor-intensive.

    • Test automation is essential for projects with frequent code changes, large-scale applications, and those following continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) practices. It’s crucial for regression testing to ensure new updates don’t break existing functionality. Projects requiring performance and load testing also benefit from automation to simulate concurrent user interactions. In general, test automation enhances efficiency, repeatability, and accuracy, making it valuable for many software development projects.
