Manual cost includes

Smoke / sanity testing€2,400
Regression testing€1,920

Automation cost includes

Automated smoke execution€136
Automated regression execution€40
Monthly maintenance€320

Estimate assumes automated smoke checks run in about 10 minutes per task and automated regression feedback takes around 30 minutes per run.

Manual QA cost

Every release needs human time for smoke checks, regression, bug validation, and repeated verification.

Automation cost

Automated suites still need maintenance, but execution becomes much faster and repeatable.

Net gain

The difference is the time your team gets back every month, plus faster feedback and lower release risk.
