tristaanogre I totally agree. My interns work on whatever tasks are available when they come to work. We've written manual tests together, most frequently they run existing manual tests, and in between, they add to our automation. They are most comfortable if I give them an existing test case and ask them to automate it. They absolutely hate writing down test cases from scratch but they are getting better at it. Near as I can tell, they get no exposure to testing in class other than helping each other debug code.
Perhaps to that end, based upon what Marsha_R has expressed, that there should be some training done before doing UI test automation. The people doing the automation need to know, first and formost, what it means to TEST an application. How are test cases written? How do you decide the test cases? How do you write them? What do you check for? etc. You really need to know how to test before you can really do a good job automating tests.
