Hyperautomation refers to the use of multiple advanced automation technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), robotic process automation (RPA), machine learning (ML), low-code, and business process management tools to accomplish end-to-end process automation. Rather than automating a single task, hyperautomation lets you automate multiple tasks within a wider process (and pass work easily between humans and digital workers).

Learn the strengths and limitations of the top test automation frameworks before selecting the best tool for your testing project.

Organizations looking to improve their bottom lines have embraced automation for decades. Simple automation has long been bringing benefits to businesses and public sector organizations alike, despite being limited to supporting small tasks and workflows.

Software testers, or SDETs, have several responsibilities in today's QA-driven software industry. In addition to collaborating with developers to plan and execute tests, they are often responsible for setting up and maintaining continuous integration (CI) processes, analyzing test results, and generating reports for stakeholders. In this article, you'll learn about the evolution of the SDET role and how automation and artificial intelligence (AI) can help improve efficiency.
