How to identify test cases can be automaed?

We can identify can be automated test cases by following the below guidelines.

- Where we need 'Repetetive Testing' to be done.
- Core functionalities in the application can be automated
- For Long Term Projects.
- We should avoid automate test cases when there is one time activity and includes more human involvement.
- Dynamically changing screen.Though possible to automate this increases the complexity of the script.
- Avoiding screens where objects are created dynamically.
- Avoiding business scenarios where complex hardware is involved.
- Avoiding scenarios where there are many rows in a table so that performance of the script can be reduced.
- Avoiding scenarios that require high degree of coding while automating so that script’s complexity is reduced and high maintainability of the script is ensured.

Yes.I will write Test Plan.

Manual Testing Questions

As a QA Tester , can you tell me the situatio when you felt most proud of it?

When I find defects that others don't find.
When I find defects at last day of testing that crashes the system.

Example: We can close a web page by clicking on X or Close button or Pressing Alt+F4 on keyboard. When I tried to close web page by pressing Alt+F4 on keyboard, my application has been crashed, It was last day of testing phase. All developers, manager and my lead went mad with this big defect. Later developers disabled Alt+F4 feature temporarily and made application went to production.
