The deployed automation solution can then be used by testers to test all known business conditions to cover normal scenarios, abnormal scenarios (error conditions), and boundary conditions (zero, one, or maximum invoices to be posted) and confirm that the automation solution meets all functional requirements (FRs) as well as non-functional requirements (NFRs) such as performance and logging.
