Promotes the re-use of critical components
This increases employee productivity since they can invest their time into other critical areas of their work and business.
If your strategy is based on result-oriented approach
Extensive testing quickly gives stakeholders confidence in shippable software.
Reduces maintenance costs on testing
Easily change and update your test methodology. Your team can adopt these changes quickly and easily.

Review and Analysis of Functionality

The software to be tested is studied during functionality evaluation and analysis. Everything about it is scrutinized, from its operation to its external and internal design, to identify all of the needs and public expectations. The software’s many functionalities and designs have been specified and are ready to be tested. When the results start flowing in, this outline will help you figure out which exact functions to search for.

The functionality overview also aids in determining the best sort of automation testing solution for the product. For example, some testing methods are designed for E-commerce software, while others are designed for social media software and gaming software.

Every sort of software has its own set of testing procedures that are specifically designed to identify its many functions. A full functionality assessment will also assist you in establishing the appropriate standards for how the product should be before it is publicly released.

Setup of the Test Script

The script/programming language used to write the codes that make up the test system is also included in the automated testing system. This is the portion of the test system that the system understands. It must be able to interface successfully with the test environment and carry out its functions appropriately.

A faulty test system will result from a badly prepared test script. It’s worth noting that the entire automation testing system is based on multiple codes that you might not notice. The system decodes these codes and interprets them in a form that you can understand.

Some advantages of test automation over manual testing are as follows:

Although automation should be a component of your entire plan, focusing only on it may not be the greatest choice. Manual and automated testing are frequently used in tandem. As a consequence, combining these two approaches can help you get greater outcomes. Manual testing can help you receive faster and more accurate feedback in the following situations: There aren’t any tests that are only performed once or twice. Tests that need the presence of a human observer (for example, when your task is to ensure customer experience or user-friendliness of software). Exploratory tests that need the expertise, ability, and experience of genuine specialists. Tests conducted on the spot.

Most of the time, most of these companies use automation just because others are using it. Here are some of the problems:

Companies are not sure of the right way to implement test automation
They do not have the right automated testing methods in place
Companies may not know when to implement test automation and when not to
They are not aware of the right set of tools that meet their requirements
