However, there are still cases in which automation can be used; for example:
Forms can be submitted using automation and links can be verified.
Functional validation can be performed via automation.
Also, for cases where advanced software knowledge is necessary for testing, taking screenshots for review by localization testers may be a more efficient approach.
Although automation testing solutions may not be feasible for all software localization projects, for some big software localization projects and website translation services that have high-volume recurring testing requests, automation testing may be a good solution for long-term cost-saving considerations. This method is typically used in projects which have lots of legacy features and functions and where there are high volumes of screen capturing workload for each release. Automation testing is commonly used for the screen shooting, UI testing, and functional testing, which can all be adapted to both web testing and normal software testing.
