Not Every Test Should be Automated!
Updated: I realized that I didn’t make it clear I was writing this post from a vendor’s viewpoint! My choices of what to automate below are based on the view of a tester working on the team for this component—the creators of this control. You, as a consumer, should rarely, rarely ever automate third party controls or components.
