• Increases accuracy
• Human Intervention is not needed during execution
• Rises Efficiency
• Excellent speed in executing tests
• Test scripts can be re-used
• Test thoroughly and Frequently
• Through automation, More  cycle of execution can be achieved
• Primary time to market

Conclusion:

You should have three essential things for Automation to be successful. They are Right selection of automation tool, testing process and team. For successful testing, Manual and automation methods go hand-in hand.
