Basics of Test Automation

Automation of tests is becoming increasingly important. The more complicated solutions, systems, applications and flows become, the more the difficulty of manual testing increases. Iterative releases require more and more recurring testing to ensure that functionality remains, or that new features work as intended. In many situations, automation is required to enable the testing to be performed.

Lemontree’s course in test automation focuses on going through the basics of test automation in order to begin the work of streamlining the test process with tools, methods and technology that add value in development and release projects.
