What is Test Automation?
Test automation is the process of leveraging automation tools to maintain test data, execute tests, and analyze test results to improve software and process quality. Test automation is also called automated testing and automated QA testing.
There are several types of test automation, including:
- Unit — testing of individual components of software
- Smoke — testing that determines whether a build is stable
- Integration — testing to ensure that individual pieces of software operate well together
- Regression — testing to ensure that no component of the software has regressed after changes are made
- API —testing of application programming interfaces after software development to make sure that everything is working together properly
- Security — testing to determine if there are security weaknesses in the software
- Performance — testing that evaluates software stability and responsiveness
- Acceptance — testing to determine how end-users will respond to the final software product
- UI — testing designed to replicate a typical end-user experience
