What is Automation- :What is Automation- Test Automation is the use of software to control the execution of tests & the comparison of results- actual with the predicted/expected. A software program that is used to test another software program, this is referred to as Automated software testing. A third party tool is used to test the application. Use of automation tools reduces the test time as well as the cost. Tuesday, August 18, 2009 Sreelesh Kunnath 2
