Automation Testing, how can we start on it
Automation testing
Is a software testing technique that involves using specialized software (Most popular: Selenium) tools to execute test cases and compare the actual outcomes with the expected outcomes (Asserts).
The primary goal of automation testing is to automate repetitive and time-consuming manual testing tasks, thereby improving testing efficiency, accuracy, and reliability.
Advantages of Automation Testing
Faster Testing:
Automated tests can be executed much faster than manual tests, enabling quicker feedback on software quality and faster release cycles.
Repeatability:
Automated tests can be run multiple times, ensuring consistent and reliable results. and saving tons of time compared to manual testing
Coverage:
Automation allows for extensive test coverage, including testing scenarios that are difficult or impractical to test manually.
It's important to have in mind that not all testing activities can be fully automated. Automation testing is most effective for repetitive and predictable tasks, while certain areas of SQA, like usability testing and exploratory testing, still require manual testing.
