Overview

Automation testing is a software testing approach that involves the use of specialized tools and scripts to automate the execution of test cases. It aims to improve testing efficiency, accuracy, and repeatability by reducing manual effort and human errors. Automation testing is particularly beneficial for repetitive and time-consuming testing tasks, regression testing, and scenarios that require testing with a large number of data inputs or configurations. Effective automation testing requires careful planning, selection of appropriate tools, and regular maintenance of test scripts. A balanced approach that combines manual and automated testing based on the specific requirements of the project can lead to a comprehensive and efficient testing strategy.
