Wait, are we saying automation finds more defects? Really?

I think option A sounds like a clear advantage of automation. It’s hard to imagine how you could do some tests manually, but I’m not sure about the others.

I remember that test automation is supposed to save time, so maybe option B is not the right answer? But I'm a bit confused about that.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like option C might be the one that doesn't fit. I recall a practice question where we talked about defect detection rates.

I think the question is asking for something that isn't really a benefit of test automation. I remember discussing how automation can help with repetitive tasks.

Ah, I think I've got it. The ability to enable a better use of skilled testers by freeing them from repetitive and boring tasks - that's probably the one that's not an advantage. Test automation should make things easier for the testers, not replace them entirely.

Okay, let's see. The ability to perform difficult tests, run more tests faster, find more defects, and free up testers - those all sound like good things. I wonder which one could be considered a disadvantage?
