It reduces the cost of testing and supports keeping long-term, high-development velocities. Test automation is not a project or a one-off—it is part of the development lifecycle and should be seen as its own system that needs to evolve over time as the requirements and system under test change and mature.

I think of defects as coming from four sources: programmer errors, design errors, requirements errors, and systemic errors. James Shore, Alternatives to Acceptance Testing. During the software development process, the goal of eliminating defects while you’re writing code is less costly rather than fix bugs later on.

An example of the first category would be a team identifying unsolvable issues during refinement , or realizing the value of the feature has diminished. An example of the second category would be test – driven development where a test case is created before any code is developed and the tests need to pass before code can be submitted.

As a great example, Stand-ups always come to mind. A big problem in development, particularly when a lot of people are introverts, is communication. Clearly, the best way to test any software is with fully automated ‘system’ testing that is thorough enough that it can be used for full regression testing.
