Automation Testing or Test Automation is a process of automating the manual testing process of an application or a system by using testing tools that allow you to create scripts that can be executed repeatedly, generating detailed test reports of the application or system under test.
The advantages of Automated Testing are:
- It supports both the performance and functional testing of an application or system.
- It facilitates the execution of repeated test cases.
- It allows the parallel execution of the test cases.
- It improves the accuracy and efficiency of the system by reducing the manual intervention of humans to generate test cases.
- It helps in testing a large-scale test matrix.
- It saves valuable time and money for the testing team involved in the project.
