Automated Testing

In Automated Testing, The test user use a software which is different with the software which need to be tested to execute the Test Cases and check the output of the software and match that output with the expected output to verify the result. Automation Testing is used for the Functional Testing, Performance Testing, Regression Testing, Security testing and Network Testing. Automation Testing can be performed by some automated tools. These tools speed up the testing work compared to the Manual Testing.

In Automation Testing, Test User execute all the Test Cases Suite. Automation Testing tool also took the Test Data from some other source to validate the outcome with expected result.

Manual Testing is always be a good to find defects but Manual Testing takes too much time to find out defect because it is performed by the human beings. Manual Testing is boring due to this it is error prone. To improve the software quality we use the Automation Testing. Automation Testing is very fast and increase the Test execution speed. Automation Testing required some investment of Money and Resources but once Test Automation Frame work developed then they run quickly and repeatedly so later it become the cost effective method if we use it repeatedly. In the Automation Testing, we can record and test and play it at any time so no human intervention is requited in Automation Testing.

For Automation Testing, the QA person should have knowledge of software coding because the Test Cases written in the source code format and output also be generate in the coding format.
