Test Automation, when done correctly can have many advantages and be very beneficial to the project and organization. Automated testing means that a machine does, what a human used to do, quicker, with less common errors, 24/7. Does it sound familiar? Time constraints often make it impossible to manually test every feature thoroughly before software application or web application is to be released. This leaves you wondering whether serious defects have been detected or not.
There is plenty of benefits of automation testing. Such testing runs faster than human users. Testers can also test how the website or software reacts after repeated execution of the same operation. Tests can be re-used on different versions of the software.
Another benefit of automation testing is that it is fully comprehensive. Each tester can build test suites of tests that cover all features in the software application. Automated testing is also reliable. They perform exactly the same operation each time they are run and therefore there is no human error occurring.
