Automated Testing Tools and Their Impact on Software Quality
Test automation refers to using specialized software tools and frameworks to automate the execution of test cases, thereby reducing the time and effort required for manual testing. This approach ensures that automation tests run quickly and consistently, allowing development teams to identify and resolve defects more effectively.
Test automation provides greater accuracy by eliminating human error. It also increases testing coverage and speeds up the quality control process through parallel testing. The McKinsey & Company study found that businesses implementing smart quality approaches have reduced overall quality costs by up to 50%.
