Summary: These ten challenges are certainly not the only ones seen in test automation, but they are very common and have been the cause for many test automation projects to fail. Successful software test automation is possible if fundamental issues are addressed and managed. Success depends on multiple factors that require the coordination of efforts between various groups in an organization. Automated software testing is truly a different way of testing and requires adjustments to current test methods and organizational structures. However, the payback from test automation can far outweigh the costs.
