Automated Software Testing

Automated software testing is a process where software tools execute pre-scripted tests on a software application before it is deployed. This process is often painless for the developers and testers because it runs on its own and they can check the results later. Automated software testing can find bugs early in the software development life cycle, which makes it easier and cheaper to fix them.

Automated testing is often used in conjunction with continuous integration and can be used to run regression, smoke, and performance tests. Automated testing can decrease the time it takes to run these types of tests from days or weeks to hours or minutes.

Automated software testing tools help software developers and testers automate the testing process. These tools can be used to test software applications for functionality, performance, and security. Automated testing tools can also be used to create test suites that can be run on a regular basis to ensure software quality.
