What do you mean that your application is very dynamic? But then you say that there are not a lot of changes for every release? This is confusing. Anyways, from I have gathered, seems as though you are attempting to begin an automation process on your team. The best suggestion I can give you is to TAKE QUICK WINS. Release and create functionality as quick as possible, in the smallest possible iterations. Can you tell me how long your iteration is? A lot of times, descriptive takes SO MUCH more time in the beginning, and a lot less time in the future, like 1 year in the future. Of course, this depends on the team and the expertise. The main question for you to answer is how much time you have per iteration and how static is your application? If you have like 4 week long iterations and the application is static, go for the OR. You can have many quick wins and several smoke tests developed by the end of your first iteration. Management and your QA will be very happy if this is well implemented. However, if you application is changing with every release, go for the descriptive approach. Create quick smoke tests, start running them, and continue to add on functionality as time goes on!
