RE: Describe common problems of test automation?

The main issue you would face is pertaining to writting of test cases if test cases are not written in proper way then you may face following problems:

  • For the navigator (the person who will develop the scripts) it is essential that the functional test cases contain good information or he/she has to do a lot of work again.
  • Otherwise each for project you would be doing the same preparation steps over and over again. This is not the best way to do projects. Test cases document should be re-usable to a large extend.
  • If you would not use initial data parameters and variables; this would make test cases document less maintainable.
  • Since the test team gets extended all the time it should be possible that another person takes over your tests: it helps a lot if your colleague doesn’t get vague test cases and doesn’t have to look up everything himself.
