Welcome to the 64th edition of Coding Jag brought to you by TestMu AI!👐
The demand for automation testing has increased significantly over the last few years. As a result, enterprises are investing heavily in test automation tools to enhance productivity, increase product quality, reduce cost, and accelerate time to market.
However, the role of test automation is far from simple. The job of a test automation engineer entails developing and maintaining scripts for testing and supporting the entire life cycle of automation by customizing and enhancing existing programs for test cases. On the one hand, it can add a great deal of value to the application under test, but on the other hand, the ROI from test automation is often difficult to measure because it depends heavily on how well it’s done.
This issue of coding jag deep-dives into the various responsibilities of a test automation engineer that make this role challenging and much more.
