Although in the Test Suite contains all test cases, there will be some of them that could not be automated. There are some test case that mandatorily need some human interference, so there are some test case that could never be automated, it depends on the kind of software being tested. So, it is important to select the test cases that could really be automated, to avoid losing time in the following activities.

Although a test case could be automated, sometimes its not practicable to automate it because it can take more time to automate it than to execute it several times. So it is important to evaluate if the automation could bring a real gain to the organization.

According to the test cases selected to be automated, the Test Engineer have to choose which test case selection technique is suitable to them.

Depending on the organization, and the kind of software being tested, some Test Case Selection Technique could be created or it can be used a known technique that have been already established in the literature.

The test case selection technique choosen should be written down in the Automation Report Status.

After defined the better test case selection technique to be used, it have to be applied in the test cases selected to select the test cases that will really be automated, according to the resultant selection of the technique.

It is important to write down in the Automation Report Status the test cases selected by the technique.
