Limitations of Automating software testing..

Hard-to-create enviornments like "out of memory", "invalid input/reply", and "corrupt registry entries" make applications behave properly and existing automated tools can't force these conditions-they simply test your applications in "normal" enviornment.

 - We can do testing with same scenarios, not like humens.
 - While doing automation, we can find the defects in the repeted scenarios.
