It seems that when to automate and how much automated testing you should have is one of the more popular blog posting topics these days. David Weiss has just put up an excellent post When to Automate Testing?, for his take on the subject. This adds to the list of posts that already exist, including my own, shown in chronological order.

Brian Marick – When Should a Test be Automated? (pdf)

Sara Ford – Automation Testing versus Manual Testing Guidelines

Bruce McLeod – If you are going to run a test more than once, it should be automated.

Keith Stobie – Reality Check: % of test cases automated

Bj Rollison – For those of you dreaming the 100% automation dream…please wake up!
