Automation Testing is the fastest growing career in the Quality Assurance Industry. The agility in software products has increased in past few years due to fast changing requirements, and the growing needs of the customer.
Manual Testing cannot be ignored, however, with Automation Testing a tester can overcome the drawbacks faced in Manual Testing such as reliability, time and cost.
Like Manual Testing, Automation Testing can also be performed for all types of testing such as: smoke, sanity, functional, regression, system and system integration and operational acceptance testing. Primarily, the organisations use automation testing to automate functionality for regression and smoke testing.
