Not all projects are candidates for automation. There are certain qualities of a project, outlined below, that increase the likelihood of QA implementing it.  
Not all projects are candidates for automation. There are certain qualities of a project, outlined below, that increase the likelihood of QA implementing it.  


<strong>Urgency:</strong> What is the urgency of your project? If your project is a high priority for the company, or on the QA goals list, then it will be more likely to get automated. If there is a short deadline for an automation project, this reduces the chance of it being automated fully, or on schedule. Ideally projects are submitted for automation with plenty of leeway for deadlines.

If there is a short deadline for an automation project, this reduces the chance of it being automated fully or on schedule. Ideally projects are submitted for automation with plenty of leeway for deadlines. If your project has a very short and tight deadline, it may not be a good candidate for automation.


<strong>Lifespan:</strong> Is your project permanent? Is it going to be a maintained project that will last a year or more? Or is this a short term project? The lifespan of a project does impact the eligibility of it for automation.
