Why Automation Testing?
Automated tests perform the same steps precisely every time they are executed and never forget to record detailed results. Testers freed from repetitive manual tests have more time to create new automated software tests and deal with complex features.
A Quality Test Automator is responsible for the quality of software development and deployment. Qualifying learners are involved in performing automated and manual tests to ensure the software created by developers is fit for purpose and any bugs or issues are identified within a product and reported to the relevant person before it gets deployed to everyday users.
Some of the duties include analysis of software, mitigation of risk, prevention of software issues and testing of any changes.
