This testing will support both functional and non-functional\ntesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Working Process of Automation Testing:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The initial step is to analyze the current system test coverage<\/li><li>Later it helps to identify paths that would benefit from automation<\/li><li>To design plan and select test cases for automation<\/li><li>To execute the test cases and observes their performance<\/li><li>Develop an automation framework and global functions<\/li><li>Finally, review the test cases under automation<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>This testing increases the test execution speed<\/li><li>It helps in the maximum coverage of test cases<\/li><li>It costs less compared to manual testing<\/li><li>This Testing saves time and money while compared to manual testing<\/li><li>It feels challenging and interesting while performing test execution whereas manual testing feels boring<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disadvantages:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The major disadvantage is debugging the test script<\/li><li>Requires more proficiency to write the test scripts<\/li><li>If test script tests a number of screens then the maintenance is difficult<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\"
