For a given set of test-cases, which of the following is a benefit of running these tests with a test automation tool?

AThe number of found bugs is reduced.

BThe time spent on repetitive tasks is reduced.

CTest coverage is increased.

DThe total cost of the test project always decreases

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

One of the primary benefits of using test automation tools is the reduction in time spent on repetitive tasks. Automation allows tests to be run quickly and consistently, freeing up testers to focus on more complex and exploratory testing tasks. While automation can help increase test coverage and improve efficiency, it does not necessarily reduce the number of found bugs or always decrease the total cost of the test project.

I have a feeling that while automation can help with costs, it's not always guaranteed to decrease them. So, I’m skeptical about D being the right answer.

I think we went over a question like this in practice, and I recall that reducing time on repetitive tasks was emphasized. So, I'm leaning towards B.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like increasing test coverage is a big advantage of automation too. Maybe C is correct?

I think leveraging the experience fragment reference component might be the right way to go since it allows for using existing layouts and content.

Haha, yeah, that 'total cost decreases' option is a bit of a stretch. Anyone who's worked with test automation knows it can get pretty pricey, at least in the beginning. But it's worth it in the long run.

Hold on, does this mean the bugs will just disappear like magic? I'm pretty sure the automation tool doesn't actually reduce the number of bugs, it just helps us find them more efficiently.
