Automation Testing

Using scripts and tools to run software tests automatically and repeatedly.

In detail

Automation testing replaces repetitive manual checks with scripts that run the same steps every time, usually as part of a CI/CD pipeline. It is most valuable for regression testing, where a change in one area must not break another.

Good automation targets stable behaviour (what a user can do) rather than fragile page structure, and reports failures clearly enough to fix quickly.

How this relates to our work

Automation Testing comes up most often in our quality assurance work. Manual, automated, API and performance testing that gives your team confidence to release.
