Automated testing is the use of software to control the execution of software testing by comparing expected results with actual results. Where I work we use Testcomplete to automate testing in desktop applications, but there are numerous others available for both desktop and web applications. Examples: Microsoft Test Manager, Soapui, Selenium Web Driver, etc.

The automation of tests brings several advantages: it is faster, decreases the chance of human error (but it is necessary to pay attention so that the scripts do not present flaws) and reduces the effort with repetitive tasks, freeing the testers for activities that require human reasoning.

Examples of tests that can be done with automation tools:

  1. Relate the item
  2. Performance
  3. Stress
  4. Security
  5. Monitoring of resource utilization
  6. Data management
