About this whitepaper
Where can AI create meaningful value—and where does it introduce more risk than benefit? The answer depends on the activity. This 10-question assessment gives you a structured framework for evaluating your testing activities across key dimensions like repeatability, judgment, data, and oversight, so you know exactly where automation fits and where human judgment should stay in control.
Complete the assessment to:
- Score Your Testing Activities: Evaluate up to five activities across seven dimensions to determine automated testing fit.
- Determine the Right Intelligence Level: See whether rule-based, hybrid/LLM, or human-led automation fits best.
- Calculate Your Net Automation Score: Get a clear, numeric result for each activity.
- Build Your Roadmap: Interpret your results with Workiva's recommended approach and real-world examples.
