Course Description
The goal of automated testing is to make testing easier by using a few scripts. For instance, if a lot of time is spent on unit testing by a QA team, automation can be helpful.
Automated testing tools can run tests, report results, and compare them with previous runs. These tools allow tests to be run repeatedly at any time.
This certification also aims to broaden test automation to cover areas like performance testing, load testing, test management, automation support, and code-level test automation.
