Advantages of Automation Testing: F3RPC

F: fast. R: Reliable, R: Reusable, R: Repeatable, P: Programmable, C: Comprehensive.

• Reusable: using more than 1
• Consistent: orderly, logically
• Repeatable: more than one time
• Versatile: various
• Efficient: effective
• Compliant: willing to comply.
• IPR Retention and Capturing
• Durable
• Broad and Integrated
