“Follow the CRUMBS to evaluate Test Automation” is second (and final in series) article I published in close collaboration with Michael Larsen.
With the first one we set focus on questions to raise while preparing for automation project – and in the second we discussed main heuristic evaluation criteria:

• Confirmation, Coverage Criteria, and Complexity
• Risk, Robustness, and Reliability
• Usefulness and Usability
• Maintainability and Manual Effort
• Basis and Bias
• Security
