Characteristics of a good automated test case are:
1) A test that will be tedious and time consuming if performed manually.
2) A test that can be run without any complications in recognizing the system objects, giving the input and analyzing the result.
3) A test that discovers an undiscovered bug (golden rule for any test case).
Lack of WILL POWER has caused more failure than
lack of INTELLIGENCE or ABILITY.

good discussion
A good testcase is one that has the following characteristics:
- Should be atomic and have a clear objective.
- Provides good coverage.
- Identifies the most number of defects.
- Is well structured.
- Is not ambigous in any way.
- Can be linked-back to a specific requirement in the requirement document.
In addition to these the characteristics of a good automated Testcase include but are not limited to the following:
1. It should be easy to maintain.
2. It should be properly structured.
3. It should run with Minimum/No human intervention.
4. The data for the testcase should not be part of the script.
