To test the functionality of GUI or to regress the TSL generally we should use it in: *Sanity tests(which is repeated on every build), * Stress/Load tests(to simulate large no of users, which is manually impossible) & * Regression tests(which are done after every code change)

Assuming that decision is already taken to do the automation and trying find the right time to start automation.. here are my thoughts

a) Application should be stable with atleast the mages pages/ frames/slots on the GUI are standardised

b) Resuable actions and functions should be identified and automation scripts should generated as dll or library files

c) Now, the scripts should be generated validation various functionalities on the GUI and using the reusable action scripts where ever applicable. Thus reducing the time for scripting and customization.

Thanks
