Software releases have become faster than ever before. They are adding new features, quicker response to defects, especially those found in production, and what not! This has resulted in a massive increase in demand for automation testers and considerable pay gaps between “manual” and “automation” testers. In addition, automated tests help companies save time by doing repetitive testing, such as regression testing.

The efficiency of test automation largely depends on how well the ‘functionality under test’ is behaving against different input combinations. For instance, an email provider would have to verify different screens like login, sign-up, etc., by supplying different input values to the scenarios. However, the effort involved in maintaining the test code rises significantly with new functionalities in the web product.

When it comes to web automation testing, there are a number of frameworks like Selenium, Cypress, PlayWright, Puppeteer, etc., that make it to the ‘preferred list’ of frameworks. The choice of test automation framework depends on a range of parameters like type, complexity, scale, along with the framework expertise available within the team. However, it’s no surprise that Selenium is still the most preferred framework among developers and QAs.
