Editing Test automation (section)

===Plateau effect===
While the reusability of automated tests is valued by software development companies, this property can also be viewed as a disadvantage. It leads to the so-called [[Plateau effect|"Pesticide Paradox"]], where repeatedly executed scripts stop detecting errors that go beyond their frameworks. In such cases, [[manual testing]] may be a better investment. This ambiguity once again leads to the conclusion that the decision on test automation should be made individually, keeping in mind project requirements and peculiarities.
