Automation

Automation is the third phase of the Cycle Testing Process. It answers the question, "What happens when we try the behaviors?" Automation is an activity of verification. A team should be able to know the state of the system's quality at any moment. Automation enables continuous testing of the system by checking it against the expectations defined in the test specifications.

Automation is more than just a bunch of scripts. It includes the test execution platform with all the required machines and environments. It includes tooling for editing and debugging tests. It also includes reporting capabilities for test results. The Cycle Testing Platform provides all the features needed for comprehensive test automation.
