Test Automation is the use of software to perform and/or support test activities. It provides:
- Fast Feedback Cycle: Since tests can be performed fast, they can be run frequently in the SDLC. That means the development team gets feedback frequently, which helps them to detect issues early. 2. Saving Team Time: Automation testing is more time-efficient compared to manual testing because tests are performed by the software.
- Reduced Costs: Time and money-consuming repetitive tests are automated only once.
- Higher Test Coverage: Since it saves money and time, the testers can spend more time on writing new tests.
- Eliminate Human Errors: Automated tests are more reliable than manual tests because it is performed with tools and scripts, so that human errors are
eliminated.
