The technology that facilitates automated testing in software development is often referred to as test automation tools. These tools streamline the process of verifying software functionality, performance, and security through scripts and predefined test cases. Popular examples include Selenium, JUnit, and TestNG. By automating repetitive testing tasks, developers can save time, increase testing coverage, and improve overall software quality. Automated testing also allows for continuous integration and delivery practices, enabling faster deployment cycles and reducing the risk of errors in production.
