Software is now the front door of your business, and when it fails, revenue and trust are on the line. Yet quality assurance is still too often treated as a cost center instead of a growth driver. The AI mandate is raising the stakes: boards expect faster delivery through AI and low-code, but that speed creates more complexity to test. Most QA teams still rely on manual processes, leaving quality as the bottleneck.

For years, Selenium was the default choice for browser automation. But in 2020, Microsoft introduced Playwright, and the testing landscape shifted. Backed by dedicated engineering support, Playwright quickly evolved from a browser testing tool into a full automation framework used by QA teams, AI agents, and modern developer workflows.

Over the weekend, I was looking to book flights for holidays. All excited, I was able to find a decent price for my family to head for some sunshine later this summer. I reached the payment stage, and that’s where the excitement and smile stopped. I was waiting for confirmation that my payment was finalizing, but then the system took a turn, and I was back on the booking page. Even more, I now had a higher price to pay for the flights. Did I continue with booking, NOOOOOO.

Whether you’re new to test automation or you’ve been utilizing it to save time for years, here’s our best advice for maximizing your automation testing productivity and avoiding mistakes. Automated testing entails much more than simply creating tests and enabling them. A “set it and forget it” approach won’t get you very far with automated tests — particularly automated browser tests, which interact with the ever-changing frontend of your application or website.

In today’s digital world, it is essential to be able to deliver high-quality software quickly. Test automation using special tools will automate repetitive test cases, which will give accuracy and speed up delivery. Test automation enables Dev Operationists by assuring continuous testing, which enables earlier bug finding and wider test coverage.

You didn’t miss a requirement. You just built a strategy for the wrong kind of system.

Oracle Cloud’s relentless quarterly update cycle waits for no one. Every three months, new functionality, UI changes, and bug fixes are rolled out – and every organization must test before going live. In regulated industries like pharmaceuticals, life sciences, and manufacturing, these aren’t optional updates; they are compliance-critical moments.
