Automated Testing

Definitions

1. The use of scripts and test frameworks to run checks on code behavior automatically rather than relying only on manual verification. Automated testing enables fast feedback on regressions across unit, integration, end-to-end, and contract-level concerns.

   In plain English: Using tools to run tests automatically instead of checking everything by hand.

   Example: "The team invested in automated testing after too many release-night bugs came from changes no one had time to verify manually."
