Automation Testing
Automation testing is a software testing approach that uses specialized tools and scripts to execute test cases automatically, without human intervention. It involves writing code to simulate user interactions, validate system behavior, and compare actual outcomes with expected results. This methodology is widely used to improve testing efficiency, coverage, and reliability in software development.
Developers should learn automation testing to enhance software quality and accelerate release cycles, particularly for regression testing, performance testing, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. It is essential for projects with frequent code changes, large test suites, or repetitive testing scenarios, such as web applications, APIs, and mobile apps, where manual testing becomes time-consuming and error-prone.
