How much to test?

That's a question needs to be answered very early in any agile project. 

Testing costs time and money, and no doubts adds value. Then how do we get a balanced approach on testing the user stories..

These questions should be answered while writing automated test for Acceptance critera

1) Is it too low level of testing...?
  - Do I really need to check a particular link is present or not...?

2) Are there repeating tests with some diversity?

- Can it be compromised over quick turnaround of the build?

3) How do we mitigate the risk of writing less tests?

- Can we make tests precise ?
- Can we not automate unit level tests in Accpetance test.
