Automation testing is the opposite of manual testing. Automated testing uses software to detect bugs in code without human intervention in the process.
Such testing saves time and enhances human efficiency, but requires a large budget. Automation testing is suitable for large projects, regression testing, performance testing, load testing, or highly repeatable functional test cases.
Even though tests are performed automatically, manual testers and developers also take part in this process, for example, they create test cases.
Automation testing requires scripts and code for automated verify test cases.
Testing engineers write code and based on this code run automation testing.
This type of testing enables you to simulate complex scenarios and increase the productivity of your team.
On the other hand, you can't automate all scenarios, like exploratory testing, and the cost of automatization is too high compared with manual testing.
So, automation testing is a popular and fast-growing direction in testing. Learn more about it by clicking the button below!
