Abstract

Software testing automation is a strategically important method that significantly reduces the cost of quality assurance and increases the efficiency of the development process. The article discusses the main methods and approaches that contribute to the optimization of testing, including the choice of tools and technologies, cost-effectiveness assessment and integration of automated processes. The main attention is paid to the issues of planning, selection of tools, as well as structuring and parameterization of tests. Examples of successful automation implementation are given, demonstrating a significant reduction in testing time and improvement of product quality. An assessment of economic efficiency has shown that automation not only pays back the invested funds, but also brings significant profits, especially in large-scale projects. In conclusion, the importance of a flexible approach to the selection of tools and methodologies that allow automation to be adapted to the specific needs and objectives of the project is emphasized.
