Its purpose is to gather valuable insights and highlight recent best practices to aid the testing community in formulating data-driven strategies and solutions.
In the software testing world, there are two types of testing techniques — manual and automated. Both aim to execute the test case and then compare the actual outcome with the expected result. Manual testing is a testing technique that requires significant human effort to ensure a software solution does everything that it is supposed to do. While great for specific test cases, excessive use of manual testing proved to be inefficient over time.

It brings on many benefits for companies and teams: time efficiency, extensive coverage. But how to best develop an automated testing strategy? In this article, we’ll show you some best practices in all 7 stages of your test automation strategy to maximize your experiences.
