What is a typical goal that remains to be addressed after completing a pilot project for a regression testing tool?

One of the typical goals that remains to be addressed after completing a pilot project for a regression testing tool is to assess whether the benefits will be achieved at reasonable cost. This phase is crucial because while the pilot project can showcase the functionality of the tool and its initial integration with the testing process, it does not guarantee that the tool will provide a return on investment when fully implemented in a larger environment.

Assessing benefits relative to cost involves a critical evaluation of whether the advantages observed during the pilot can be sustained and whether they justify the financial and resource investment needed for broader deployment. This assessment helps stakeholders make informed decisions about scaling up the use of the tool across more projects or teams within the organization.

In contrast, other goals such as learning more details about the tool, understanding its fit with existing processes, and deciding on standard usage are often addressed during or immediately after the pilot and may not require the same level of scrutiny as the evaluation of overall benefits versus costs.
