How do you determine the life cycle of an automated test? At some point, the tests become stale or redundant and no longer valuable.
How do you track your automation coverage? What percentage of an application is being tested by your regression suite?
Thanks,

I map each Automation tests against JIRA test and labeled with Automated, each release we spent some time to clean up the JIRA tests related to automation whether those test functionality is changed or entirely removed based on that we will modify the scripts or remove it from the suite. It is all about keeping track of Automation tests with Test Management tools.

As I said earlier, Each automation tests should be mapped/created in TestManagement tools like JIRA, ALM, etc. On each release, once the automation run completed, We will do the failure analysis and update the data in Excel then the macro will take care of updating details into JIRA (Executing the tests with status).
You can't calculate the exact percentage of automation coverage on AUT, but A very well maintained manual tests and automation tests can be easy to generate automation coverage. For Ex: If we have 100 manual tests and you automated 50 of them then you're automated 50% (approx.).
