Let us begin with understanding why we need automation? is it not expensive to set up automation for a company? What skills you need to automate?

Why do we need automation?

The principle of automated testing is that there is a program (which could  be a job stream) that runs the program being tested, feeding it expected.  Once the test suite is written, no human intervention is the proper input, and checking the output against the output that was needed,  either to run the program or to look to see if it worked; the expected. test suite  does  all  that,  and somehow indicates  whether  the program's  output was as expected.

We do not need to automate something that is:

·         Frequently changing

·         Random Content updation

·         features which are not of much  value to the business

·         Property file changes

·         UI checking
