Scenario
Suppose a retailer approaches your company to build a shopping cart application for him. He's more interested to know the tasks that would be automated. You're to meet with him to brief him about it.
Aim
To list potential candidates for automation of tasks and processes involved in the software development cycle.
Steps for Completion
- Write down at least five manual, tedious, or repetitive tasks, for which automation would be a good choice.
Hint: These could be along the lines of the payment process. - Analyze if automation is feasible for the tasks you noted. Ask the questions you saw in the Going the Automation Way subsection.
You should now understand what automation is and how it can benefit software development.
