Summary: "In an attempt to do more with less, organizations want to test their software adequately, but as quickly as possible. Faced with this reality, software managers and developers have little choice but to introduce automated testing to their projects....The introduction of automated test tools helps to replace archaic and mundane manual test processes with a more professional and repeatable automated test environment, that promotes test engineer retention and improves test engineer morale."
