Test Automation

Software Development and Engineering Practices

Test automation is the practice of using software tools to execute pre-scripted tests on an application automatically, rather than performing them manually. It is used by QA engineers and developers to speed up regression testing, increase test coverage, and catch bugs earlier in the development cycle, often as part of continuous integration pipelines.
