Service scope
- Service constraints
-
While test automation provides some fantastic benefits, there are a few things to point out that can constrain those benefits, and while not exhaustive, for example:
-Tool licencing costs if not using open source.
-Initial setup overhead and lead time before benefits realised.
-Not a total replacement of all manual testing. Models mixing manual and automated testing deliver greater quality.
-Requirement & Application Stability - Maintenance overheads where high volume of architectural, solution and requirement changes.
-Infrastructure scaling limits, test environment availability.
-Test Data & Access – effective automation requires reliable and consistent data in accordance with compliance regulations.
