SG by Sayan Ghosh Benefits of Automation in Testing Faster testing cycles, improved accuracy, and reduced costs.
1 Increased Efficiency 2 Enhanced Accuracy
Automated tests run quickly, freeing up human Automated tests are more consistent and reliable, testers for more complex tasks. leading to fewer errors.
3 Reduced Costs 4 Improved Coverage
Automation can reduce the overall cost of testing by Automation allows you to test more scenarios than automating repetitive tasks. manual testing. Challenges of Implementing Automation Setting up an automation framework, maintaining test scripts, and managing testing data.
Initial Setup Costs Time investment in setting up an automation framework.
Maintaining Test Scripts Test scripts need to be updated when the application changes.
Data Management Maintaining test data and ensuring it is consistent and
