 OVERVIEW AND CONCEPTS OF TEST AUTOMATION

What is Test Automation?

Automated Software Testing or Test Automation is the process of automating

the manual test cases. This also involves comparing the run time data with
the test data provided, and producing useful Test Results.

Why Test Automation?

Since the abundance of software development tools available in the market

the productivity of the developer is dramatically increased over the past years.
To manage the quality of the product developed it is essential to thoroughly
test all the features of the application. If the application is a large software
product having lot of features, then it is very much difficult to test by manually
executing the test cases. There will be a lot of pressure on testing team to test
more and more functionalities in less time. Hence, the Automation Testing has
become an integral part of software development.
