Solution: Consider validating test script with
checkpoints. Place the checkpoints at numerous
places in the script.
Solution: The testers should understand that test

leave scope for manual testing in the project.
Solution: Consider creating smaller test cases
that are condensed into a single suite
representing the whole functional flow.
