I wonder if the failure rate is any higher or lower than software development projects in general? How would you define a failed test automation project? One that only achieved partial coverage? One that got outright cancelled?
Hi,
I've seen a lot of failed test automation projects :-) ...but don't know about an official study.
By the way, what kind of automation do you mean? Unit, Modul, Interface, Services, Load/Performance or GUI tests? If you think about GUI test automation you might find this link (http://www.agilerecord.com/agilerecord_01.pdf @see Page 16) useful.
All of you a happy and agile new year!
Cheers
