Brian Le Suer

"Maintenance" is a dirty word in test automation circles, the 'M' word if you will. Test tool vendors don't like to talk about it because it muddies the clear waters of record/playback and other "ease of use" features that are often touted as silver bullets in the field of Software Quality Assurance. Test automation is supposed to reduce costs while increasing efficiency in a test organization, but test maintenance can quickly erode the return on investment if the approach and framework are not designed to ensure that tests can be modified quickly and easily as the target application changes over time. After all, if our applications were static, there would be no need for automated testing.
