概述
Automated testing is the use of scripts and tools to execute test cases automatically. It enables rapid, consistent, and scalable validation of software functionality, especially in continuous integration and deployment workflows.
When to Use Automated Testing
- For regression testing during frequent releases
- To validate complex business logic at scale
- When consistent, repeatable results are required
- To accelerate feedback loops in CI/CD pipelines
Strengths
- Fast and repeatable execution
- Scalable across large applications
- Reduces human error
- Enables continuous testing and deployment
Limitations
- Higher setup and maintenance effort
- Less effective for visual/UI nuance
- Not ideal for exploratory testing
