COURSE INTRODUCTION
In today’s world when skipping the testing phase is quite impossible for companies wishing to be competitive, one step ahead before everybody and that desire to have the trust of their clients, it is a necessity to find a way to test better and faster the products. After all, it is all about reputation we all know that a bad reference from a client can easily make all the good ones irrelevant.
It is also impossible to test everything – not only this is a principle of testing, but also, imagine the efforts, the time and the expenses needed to do so.
This is where the need of test automation comes – do not be mistaken – a huge investment of time and resources should be done in the beginning and only then, after a period of time you will be able to test the product faster and cheaper. Of course, it is impossible to automate everything, but even the 30% automation allows you to focus more on developing the team’s skills, on the high – level tasks and on making the product even better.
