In order to ensure code quality, automation is an important characteristic of the CI/CD pipeline. The test automation process is used throughout the software development pipeline to identify dependencies and other issues, push changes to the different environments, and deploy applications into production. As part of its quality control role, the automation will assess everything from API usage and performance to security. In this manner, all changes made by team members are integrated comprehensively and implemented correctly.
* With automated testing, we can run tests simultaneously across multiple servers/containers, resulting in a faster testing process.
* Automated testing provides more consistency. Software automation eliminates human errors, and bias, and assures that it behaves as expected.
* To meet changing demands, tools and frameworks in a CI/CD pipeline need to be adjusted quickly. Keeping up with updates and being agile is difficult with manual testing. However, most configurations are done automatically when you have automated tests. This allows you to migrate quickly to new environments.
* Maximizing the workforce is crucial to a successful development project. Test automation frees engineers to work on other high-value tasks.
* CI/CD pipelines require all the testing effort when small changes are made. Validating minor changes continuously is easier with automated testing.
