Automated Testing

Automated testing is a crucial aspect of software development that ensures the quality and reliability of the applications we use daily. It involves the use of software tools to validate the behavior of a software application against its expected functionality.

Why Automated Testing?

Efficiency: Automated tests can run much faster than manual tests, saving time and resources.
Consistency: Automated tests provide consistent results, reducing the risk of human error.
Scalability: Automated tests can be easily scaled to accommodate larger and more complex projects.

Types of Automated Testing

Unit Testing: Testing individual components of a software application.
Integration Testing: Testing how different components of a software application work together.
System Testing: Testing the entire integrated software application to ensure that it meets the specified requirements.
End-to-End Testing: Testing a complete software workflow through multiple systems.

Tools for Automated Testing

Selenium: A powerful tool for automating web applications.
JUnit: A widely used unit testing framework for Java.
Cucumber: A tool that helps in writing test cases in plain English.
