Why spend time writing tests?

Unfortunately, you cannot avoid testing.  Manual testing is tedious and boring. The solution is automated testing.  It does take some time, but in the long run you'll find that:

• Every test you run saves time.
• Every test you write saves money.
• Every test you have builds confidence and agility.

Every test you have builds confidence and agility. You have probably seen code that desperately needed to be refactored. However, you wouldn't change it for fear of breaking something. A good test suite helps overcome this fear by letting you know instantly if anything is broken. You will gain confidence in your code and become more agile.

Every test you run saves time. Consider how much time you spend testing a feature. You may need to start the app, enter text, click buttons, move items, etc…). And you will probably have to repeat that procedure many times. IcuTest makes it easy to automate these tasks and save time. GUI unit testing means less manual testing.

Every test you write saves money. Automation is the key to reducing the cost of QA. If you are a small company that doesn't have a QA department then automated GUI testing is a must. It keeps your cost down while maintaining the quality of your products.
