Software systems are an integral part of life, from business applications (e.g., banking) to consumer products (e.g., cars). Most people have had an experience with software that did not work as expected. Software that does not work correctly can lead to many problems, including loss of money, time, or business reputation, and even injury or death. Software testing is a way to assess the quality of the software and to reduce the risk of software failure in operation. One way to test software is to automate testing. Without automation of software testing, we face problems and obstacles such as poor software quality, large amount of time spent on performed work and consequently increased costs. Test automation is the practice of running tests automatically, managing test data, and utilizing results to improve software quality. It's primarily a quality assurance measure, but its activities involve the commitment of the entire software production team. From business analysts to developers and DevOps engineers, getting the most out of test automation takes the inclusion of everyone. This paper aims to work on the aforementioned issue.
