Test automation is a process that combines both business and technical aspects. Like any concept, solution, or procedure implemented in companies, test automation aims to leverage the advantages of this method to transform them into concrete and measurable business results.
Increased speed and accuracy: Test automation allows for rapid and unambiguous execution of tests, resulting in immediate feedback and quick reporting of errors and incidents. This enables teams to respond quickly to issues and eliminate them at an early stage of software development.
Budget savings: Test automation reduces operational costs because once written, test scripts can be used repeatedly. Faster error detection through automation also translates into lower repair costs, improving the quality of the final product and positively impacting the company’s reputation.
Freeing up human resources: Automation takes over routine, repetitive tasks, freeing manual testers for more creative and inspiring tasks. This allows teams to focus on more complex aspects of testing, thereby increasing overall efficiency.
Reliability: Automated scripts eliminate human errors and can run thousands of tests continuously. Automation ensures complete transparency of the testing process, eliminating the risk of negligence or oversight that can occur in manual work.
Test automation significantly reduces the time required to create and deploy software. Automated tests can be conducted continuously without the need for constant human supervision. Machines and robots usually perform tests much faster. We believe that in a rapidly developing world, automation and robotics are the future of the software testing process.
