When do you automate a test case?

 Test cases are automated when they meet the following criteria:

  • Repetitive execution is required across multiple releases or test cycles.
  • High-risk areas of the application need frequent validation.
  • Test cases with complex workflows that are time-consuming for manual execution.
  • Performance, load, or regression testing needs automation for efficiency.
  • Stable functionalities where application behaviour is not frequently changing.
