I need to understand test automation properly.There are some checkpoints that i went through while reading the manual of QTP.e.g.1.Table checkpoint checks information within table.2.Text checkpoint checks that a string is displayed in the appropriate place in the application or not.3.Page checkpoint checks how long a web page takes to load or whether the page has broken linksetc.Now, All these checkpoints can be checked manually, and infact, in my point of view, it is easy to do it in the manual way. Can you please clarify why indeed, checkpoints are better than testing the application manually.

In Web Testing, you test the application with different browsers and different versions of the same browsers. Here, you would be concentrating on User Interface, Functionality and Performance of the application. In Client Server Testing, you don?t require any media/browser to test the application.
A higher degree of Security, Performance and Reliability testing is required for web based applications than client server applications becoz web based applications are multi user applications whereas client server applications are single user applications.
If the database is changed in client server application, the front end source code needs to be changed where as in web based, if the database changes, only the middleware has to be changed accordingly as client never interacts with the server directly. The business logic is @ middleware in web based application where as the same is at client in fat client/thin server architecture and at server in thin client/fat server architecture.

Give me an example where you have customized an automated test script.

Some Problems I am mentioning here
i) Don't Underestimate the cost of estimation.
ii) Don't underestimate the need for staff training.
iii) Don't expect to be more productive in the short term.
iv) Don't keep much effort on regression testing.
v) Don't go for 100% automation. -
