Ashwini Shivarudra
Abstract
Software testing is an activity designed to assess a program's quality and make improvements by finding errors and issues. Testing is a technique that is used to identify software flaws and confirm that the program has reached a certain level of quality in relation to certain characteristics. Players in the banking and financial sectors are up against several internal and external obstacles. They must concentrate on generating value for customers by emphasizing cost effectiveness and operational efficiency if they want to thrive. Automation is the only realistic possibility for doing this in the current economic and technological context. The adoption was made with cost-cutting and increased output in mind. Financial services is no exception to the major trends that are now reshaping many businesses, including growing digitalization, the widespread use of mobile phones, and simple internet access. Automation testing is a major factor in increasing the software testing team's test efficiency. Because it is not repeatable, inconsistent, or covered enough, manual testing may not always be useful. The software industry uses test automation as a solution to this. This essay will cover test automation, including its requirements, methods, applications, advantages over manual testing, and how to choose which test cases to automate. As a result, there are several testing tools on the market; we'll also talk about the Selenium automation tool.
