So you’re finally considering of implementing automatic testing in your business? Let’s see what are the good and the bad sides of automation in general, and you decide which of these factors concern your business.
Pros:
-
It’s over with hard and boring work
That’s
the whole point of automation. The job that someone would do for
hours can be done with a machine, and it’s all automatic.
-
We spend less
You
buy the machine, but you don’t pay it for every hour it works. The
same goes for software developing.
-
Easy maintenance
Simple
surveillance and occasional maintenance are the only thing required
in order for everything to go smoothly.
-
Machines do not get tired
Everything
a machine or an automated software does will finish faster that if I
person or even a team would do it. They do not need a lunch break.
-
We’re safer when a machine does it
In
some cases people may get exposed to high temperatures or radioactive
and toxic atmospheres, we better let machine do it for us.
Cons:
-
It’s not possible to automatize everything, yet
Unfortunately,
(or fortunately?) not everything is able to be automatized yet. But
how the things are going, we just need to be patient.
-
It costs more at the beginning
You
need to invest a certain sum to purchase a machine or software that
will do the work for you. However, it literally pays of itself.
-
No maintenance may result in a loss of product
If
we’re not carful, the whole project may fail. We can’t rely on a
machine to do everything, skilled professional are required to watch
over them and make sure everything is going as intended.
As
you can see, the cons are overwhelmed with pros, and they are not
really cons if we plan ahead and responsibly. We’ve shown you the
both sides, now it’s your turn to make a decision.
SUMMARY:
So
you’re finally considering of implementing automatic testing in
your business? Let’s see what are the good and the bad sides of
automation in general, and you decide which of these factors concern
your business.
