How should we calculate the return on investment (ROI) for test automation? Is it really as simple as looking for reduced manual testing headcount? Or are there other measures that are more meaningful and have the potential for showing even greater returns? Join Tim Farley for a discussion about the different ways to look at return on investment, including calculating the cost, savings and value of automated testing, and how looking at the overall savings to the program can be a better measurement than just looking at savings to the testing effort.
