With the rise of Agile, teams have been trying to minimize the gap between the stakeholders and the development team.

Automating testing is a crucial step in the development pipeline of a software product. In an agile development environment, where there is continuous development, deployment, and maintenance of software products, automation testing ensures that the end software products delivered are error-free.

It is the testers who are under pressure to finish faster and deem the product “release candidate” before they have had enough opportunity to be comfortable. To make matters worse, if bugs are discovered in the product after it has been released, everyone looks to the testers and says, “Why didn’t you spot those bugs?” The testers did not cause the bugs, but they must bear some of the guilt for the bugs that were disclosed.
