Test automation makes testing efforts faster, more reliable and stable. Testing teams use test automation frameworks to ensure the test automation code is reusable, stable, and easy to maintain. A test automation framework encourages the whole team to follow common guidelines for code standards, processes and tools.

As complex applications change faster than ever, testers must create, prioritize and maintain tests with greater speed and velocity than ever before. In-sprint testing cannot rely on slow and manual test case creation, and maintaining repetitive scripts manually becomes impossible in short iterations. Testing requires an automated and systematic approach to test creation so you can reliably update tests based on the latest changes.
