Steps
Verify if any test case automated did not work well

The goal of this activity is to follow the results of the automated test cases during some test cycles.

It is important to establish in how many test cycles the test scripts should be under control. It should be established in the Automation Plan.

If any test script did not work well in some of the established test cycles, it should come back to the Automate Test Cases activity and the problem found should be written down in the Automation Report Status.

After the established quantity of test cycles, if a test script always worked well, this test case is liberated and no more control should have been done in it.

Control the measument of the automated execution against the manual execution
It is interesting to measure the time of the execution of the automated test cases, in a way to have a comparation to the time of manual execution of the same test case to evaluate the gain that the automation bring to the organization.
