What is QA test automation?

QA Test Automation refers to the process of using specialized software tools to automatically execute pre-scripted tests on a software application before it is released. This helps in quickly identifying bugs, ensuring the application works as intended, and improving overall software quality. Automated testing allows repetitive tasks to be performed efficiently, saves time compared to manual testing, and supports continuous integration and deployment practices. QA Test Automation engineers are responsible for creating, maintaining, and running these automated test scripts.
