Can 100% test automation be achieved?

Some of the challenges commonly seen with automation are:

1.When the first build comes out in a sprint/iteration, it will have defects. These defects may be blocking and hence may not allow for automation script development to proceed. And at time, most critical issue is to find defects and report so that developers could fix them quickly to complete the functionality.

Agility with Discipline

Agile teams are normally left on their own, thereby allowing them to take their own decisions and succeed, therefore require MORE discipline and maturity than traditional programming methodologies. Let’s consider software project planning and estimating. On a traditional project, we often saw a detailed project plan that listed specific tasks, dates, assigned resources, and so on. In true spirit this plan was rarely modified to reflect the lessons learnt throughout project lifecycle.
