, Automation is an appropriate option for a process that is scheduled to start at a specific
time, or at recurrent times. Automation is also recommended to ensure accurate and
reliable test results. It can collect, organize, and manage data related to the test
process. However, a manual approach should be considered when only a few tests are
necessary, and time is not a factor.
