In my teching context, I can implement the testing and authentic assessment all the time because both are complement.
How? I implement games and diferent activities like songs and puzzles in my classes becasue they are funny activities and students can lern eassier with them. Finally I implement the test to complement the evaluation.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages in each form of assessment. But I think there are more adventages than disadvantages. The most important thing is put in practice the english communication.
No importa el tiempo que nos lleve el implementar estas formas de evaluación. Para mi lo mas importante es innovar a la hora de hacerlo para no crear miedo en los niños y no caer en las clases monótonas y las evaluaciones que ocasionan pánico y pueden evitar que los estudiantes expresen todo lo que ellos han aprendido.

Hi Magda,
One thing about tests is that many times they create a stressful atmosphere for the students, which in turn might affect and reflect in students' performance. On the other hand, during authentic assessment, students forget they are being assessed as the main focus is the activity itself. To take the most advantage of this type of assessment it is necessary to keep records in a systematic and reliable way, like through the use of rubrics or observational checklists.
