1. If you have to run a set of tests repeatedly, automation is a huge win for you 2. It gives you the ability to run automation against code that frequently changes to catch regressions in a timely manner 3.It gives you the ability to run automation in mainstream scenarios to catch regressions in a timely manner (see What is a Nighlty) 4. Aids in testing a large test matrix (different languages on different OS platforms). 5. Automated tests can be run at the same time on different machines, whereas the manual tests would have to be run sequentially.

Attributes are nothing but the characteristics of test automation. They include:-

1) Automation involves recording the user actions and setting the checkpoints into a test script, so that it can be played back later on, each time when regression test has to be performed.

2) Only manually passed tests can be automated.

3) Use of automation is lies in Data-Driven testing, Regression Testing and Performance testing.

4) Some tests like Usability test, Exploratory test can never be automated. Automating tests like End-to-end testing, is often less wise.
