How to make a start with Test Automation

Welcome to the 106th edition of Coding Jag brought to you by LambdaTest!

The basic requirement for a test to be automated is to avoid the inefficient practices of people repeatedly running the same tests over and over again. This lead to the concept of test automation.

Test automation is the process of automating the execution of tests, validating a software product, and using outcomes to improve software quality. It essentially helps teams create, test and deploy to save time and money.

But how does one get started with automating their tests?

In this issue of Coding Jag, we explore the many ways to start automating tests.
