How do you choose which test cases to automate?

 Selecting test cases for automation depends on several factors:

  • High-frequency execution: Tests that are run repeatedly, such as regression and smoke tests.
  • Critical business functionality: Tests covering core application features.
  • Time-consuming manual tests: Complex scenarios that require significant manual effort.
  • Stable and predictable scenarios: Tests where expected outcomes do not frequently change.
  • Data-driven tests: Test cases requiring multiple data sets for validation.

They are required for understanding user flow  and designing test scenarios .
