James Bach on automation ...

James bach has posted following blog post on Manual Tests and automation.

It is prety interesting stuff. Read the post and my comments on that post.

Especially Rules of Automation as per James

Test Automation Rule #1: A good manual test cannot be automated.

Rule #1B: If you can truly automate a manual test, it couldn’t have been a good manual test.

Rule #1C: If you have a great automated test, it’s not the same as the manual test that you believe you were automating.

Note the comments chain for that blog post --- Really thought provoking

More on this later ...
