automated testing

Software checks itself

Automated testing uses software to verify that other software works correctly, running predefined checks without human intervention.

Test scripts execute repeatedly, catching bugs that manual testing might miss: We run automated testing on every code commit.

The approach saves time on repetitive tasks but requires upfront investment to write and maintain the tests themselves.
