CODING JAG - Issue 62

Welcome to the 62nd edition of Coding Jag brought to you by LambdaTest!👐

When automation was initially brought to several industrial sectors, it was met with skepticism. Most businesses were hesitant to implement this new technology because they were apprehensive of what they didn't completely grasp. However, automation technology gradually gained acceptance and is now the standard.

A new trend ‘Hyperautomation’ is gaining popularity among the testing fraternity, as firms are now shifting to a more people-centered approach. As the bulk of automation initiatives are aimed at cost reductions, boosting productivity, efficiency, and compliance, Hyperautomation achieves these objectives and embraces the future of automation testing.

This issue of Coding Jag deep dives into the world of Hyperautomation, the benefits of Hyperautomation, why it is essential for software quality assurance, and much more.👇
