Introduction to Automation Testing

Automation Testing enhances the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of software testing processes by using tools and scripts to automate test execution. It provides numerous benefits such as improved test coverage and the ability to integrate seamlessly into continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) workflows. However, there are limitations to be considered, including the initial investment and the need for skilled testers to manage automation scripts.
