Automation testing is the name you hear from almost all software engineers. Ever wondered why? This is because of the versatility of automating the test cases across multiple OS platforms, browsers, and browser versions. Though Selenium is the most widely used tool, there are other testing frameworks that has almost similar features as Selenium. Also, iOS is the widely used operating system as it gives an edge over Android by offering better synchronization between hardware and software.

So you’re already convinced that automated testing can transform the software development lifecycle and help produce higher-quality products. But convincing management it’s a worthwhile investment? Especially if they're hesitant to add technology they don’t understand to a tight budget? That's a different story. We've got you. Here are 10 rock-solid reasons why your organization needs a budget for automated testing.

Automation testing is a technique in which testers leverage automated software tools for executing test cases. These tests typically include operations that are repetitive in both their nature and outcome. Automating the test suite helps in saving time and effort required in performing repetitive and resource-heavy tasks that are difficult to perform manually. In this blog post, let’s explore the advantages, types, and frameworks of Automation testing.

Before we discuss the difference between manual and automation testing, let’s understand why we need Software testing. Surprisingly in many cases, the importance given to software development won’t be given to testing. If we look into SDLC, testing has greater integrity. Taking it casually and testing in non-real environments will directly impact the entire project and lead to testing failures without a doubt.

Today, software developers have no option but to provide a software application near perfection. Automation is a great way to expand operations and save time and money. All the repetitive testing tasks that take a long time and are challenging to complete manually are automated using automated software tools. On the other hand, manual testing necessitates a trained human’s precise execution of test actions. As a result, automation testing expands the number of tests on a software program.
