In the fast-paced Agile development environment, many companies are investing in test automation to maintain software quality, but this transition comes with costs, including engineering effort, license fees, and labor hours. However, the question remains: do the outcomes justify the expenses, and how can we be sure?
Often, testing teams devote significant time to setting up automation frameworks, integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines, and scheduling them for regular execution, but they frequently overlook a critical aspect: assessing the effectiveness of these automated tests. Teams tend to focus on the effort put into a project while neglecting to consider its outcomes due to fatigue or time constraints. To address this, it’s crucial to delve into test management metrics that enable businesses to gauge their test automation endeavors’ success accurately.
