Automated checks

Automated checks image
Automated checks in software testing are essentially tests executed by software tools rather than human testers. 

These checks automatically compare the software's actual behavior against expected outcomes, often defined in scripts. 

They are designed to be repeatable and efficient and can cover various aspects of an application, from functionality and performance to security.

Ultimately, automated checks aim to provide faster feedback on software quality and improve testing efficiency. 

It is best to use them when outcomes are predictable and the feature we cover has been stable for a while.
