What is test automation?

Test automation is the use of software tools and scripts to automatically execute tests on software applications, reducing the need for manual testing. This approach helps increase test coverage, speed up the testing process, and improve the accuracy and reliability of results. Automated tests can be run repeatedly and are especially useful for regression, performance, and load testing. Test automation is commonly used in agile and DevOps environments to ensure continuous delivery and integration.
