What is automation testing?
Automation testing is a technique that uses automation tools to automatically run a set of test cases, delivering faster and more accurate results than manual testing methods. It is convenient to use this method in large projects or where testing needs to be repeated many times.
Automated testing tools analyze the software, report outcomes, and compare results with earlier test runs. Generally, automation testers use programming languages such as C#, JavaScript, and Ruby.
What are the different types of automated testing?
There are various kinds of automated testing that can be used to test the software, such as:
- Functional testing
- Unit testing
- Integration testing
- Smoke testing
- Non-functional testing
- Performance testing
- Regression testing
- Keyword-driven testing
- Data-driven testing
Automated vs. Manual testing
Here are the key differences between automated and manual testing:
- Automation testing doesn’t require human involvement because they are performed automatically. In contrast, manual testing is performed manually by QA testers.
- In terms of investment, automation testing requires automation tools, and manual testing requires human resources.
- Automation testers write test scripts and then automate test execution and generate the report, whereas manual testers need to take care of everything from test creation and execution to analysis.
- Automation testing is fully automated and reliable because it is code and script-based, but manual testing can’t be completely accurate as there are chances of human error.
- In automation testing, the process is faster and more efficient because it uses some software tools. On the other hand, manual testing is time-consuming because it is done by humans instead of any software tools.
- Automation testing uses frameworks such as Data Drive, Keyword, etc. In contrast, manual testing doesn’t use frameworks.
- Regarding nightly execution, automation testing can be batched, but manual testing can’t be.
Benefits of automation testing
There are several benefits of automation testing, such as:
Testing on multiple platforms
Automation testing has cross-browser compatibility to simultaneously test an application on different browsers, operating systems, and devices.
Reusable test scripts
Developing test cases is time-consuming; that’s why automation testing offers you the reusability of test scripts. With this feature, you can minimize the effort of manual coding.
Fast development and deployment
Automation tests are executed repeatedly and completed rapidly. It eliminates the need to wait for weeks to execute the tests; within a few hours, execution can be done. It reduces the waiting time and boosts development when you switch from manual to automation testing.
Faster feedback cycle
Automation tests reduce the time needed to complete a feedback cycle for new software features. As a result, testers bring input to the development team faster, and they will be able to fix the bugs in code more quickly.
