18. Business challenges
Solutions
Business value
UI regression test needs grow
over time
Record and automate UI tests
Test more functionality in less
time
Manual UI testing impacts
the delivery cycle times
Automated UI tests are
brittle, time-consuming to
maintain
Robustly instrument UI tests
to reduce maintenance
overhead
Associate UI tests with a
scheduled build
Reduce or eliminate
repetitive manual testing
Reduce cycle time when
delivering new features
