Automated Testing
Automated testing is software testing in which the test cases are executed without manual intervention. It reduces the time and effort of the testing process by automating repetitive tasks, such as regression tests or smoke tests. Automated testing can also increase coverage levels with less effort than manual testing would require. The advantages include simple upkeep, the capacity to utilize resources in off-peak hours efficiently, and the ability to generate tests reports.

Automated testing is essential for businesses because it allows them to run tests on their system before releasing new features or making changes that adversely affect performance. This means they'll be able to identify potential issues, saving both money and resources when launching new products or services onto the market.
