What this section shows
The total number of manual and automated tests protecting the product.
- Not all manual test are executed each release.
- Manual test cases naturally grows as new features added.
- A growing number of automated testing can keep up or even increase test automation ratio (Automated tests / All tests (%) )
</aside>

- After the pilot implemented 9 additional new type of automated tests (Reference Data Tests) with quicker ROI:

Updated Test Automation ROI Estimates
<aside>
💡
What this section shows
This chart estimates how long it takes for each test type to pay back its implementation cost through reduced manual testing.
Taken into the estimation calculation:
- initial test automation implementation time
- regular manual execution time
- ongoing test automation maintenance costs
- more frequent execution of automated tests (quicker quality feedback) - estimate calculates with a modest 2x efficiency gain
</aside>
API/E2E test:
- ROI reached in 10 months (initial implementation overhead + ongoin maintenance ≥ if we would executed regularly manually)
- Broad functional coverage
- Longer ROI but significant long-term value
Reference Data API test:
- ROI reached in 4 months (initial implementation overhead + ongoin maintenance ≥ if we would executed regularly manually)
- Cover niche areas, limited coverage
- Rapid value delivery
