Automated testing is a process that validates if the software is functioning appropriately and meeting requirements before it is released into production. This software testing method uses scripted sequences that are executed by testing tools. Test automation is the process of testing various parts of new software with little to no human involvement. Essentially, it makes sure every aspect of a software design works without a human sitting in front of a computer devoting hours to manual tests.

For example, Selenium is an open-source framework for cross-browser and cross-platform testing of web applications. It is a suite that allows automated tests of websites and web applications in different browsers on different platforms using any programming language of your choice.

✔️ Design, develop and run scripts
✔️ Collaborate with Software Developers and QA Analysts
✔️ Investigate issues, bugs, and feedback as they arise
✔️ Prepare reports and analysis
✔️ Use test automation frameworks.

Automation testers are vital to cross-functional teams. Their responsibilities include designing and writing automation scripts, debugging test cases, using automation frameworks, undertaking testing environment setup, probing into problems that arise post-testing, and many more.
