That should come from your personal experience and if you don't have much or any in terms of testing salesforce then talk about what you think would be challenges.

Usually, the #1 issues is security!!

Allow other users to see too information they should not have access to like notes, tasks, accounts, opportunities, etc.

Other important challenges are usability.  Out of the box UI are not for dynamic in nature and are fairly rigid.

Other common defects are badly written validation rules, triggers, etc.  stopping business from doing their work or not enforcing important business rules.

Thx

Can anyone give me some guidance on Verification in Automated Testing. Are there anyone here who works in this area?

There are several different methods of checking, the best one you have to determine for yourself. For me the best one is the assertion check, some people use two checks in one iteration. I would recommend splitting the check into several iterations to reduce the load. I recommend you to read this article for details https://luxequality.com/blog/verifications-in-automation-testing/ it has a lot of tips and examples of how to automate testing.
