Automation Testing

Software Testing is a highly evolving entity. As applications tend to become more complex, and more feature rich, software testing has to itself play catch up and evolve to support the effective testing of such applications. Testing these new generation software purely on a manual basis (through manual testing) is all but impossible and unfeasible. This is where software testing makes use of a host of automation tools and automation technologies to ease up the software QA testing task and provide better and effective QA testing results.

Lets do a deep dive to understand Test Automation from all the important perspectives of Software QA Testing.

• What is test automation in the context of software QA testing?
• When should automated testing be used for a software QA testing project?
• When should automation testing not be used for a software QA testing project?
• How does a software test engineer approach automated software testing?
• What are the tools available for a software QA tester for doing test automation?
