<strong>Coverage Complexity:</strong> Are you requesting to have a short smoke test automated, or in-depth coverage of a full product? How much needs to be done, and how quickly? These are important elements for automation. Team resources need to be scoped out, as far in advance as is possible. | <strong>Coverage Complexity:</strong> Are you requesting to have a short smoke test automated, or in-depth coverage of a full product?

Discussion: The bottom line is that there cannot be any cut and dry formula to determine if a project is a good candidate for automation. There is a lot that depends on the project, its urgency, and the resources the team has available. Web QA wants to be available as a resource, however it's just not possible to always say 'Yes', which is why there is a need for discussion. Even if it is not possible to do right now, there is a possibility that eligibility may change in the future. For example we initially said no to marketing projects, however since then we have created a short template for those projects that actually carved off time for manual testing. So please talk to us! Tell us what you have and what you need, and we will do our best to accommodate you. | <strong>Discussion:</strong> The bottom line is that there cannot be any cut-and-dry formula to determine if a project is a good candidate for automation.
