Automated testing refers to any approach that makes it possible to run tests without human intervention. It is a catch all term for UI automation, API automation, automated end-to-end tests, unit tests, automated accessibility tests and others.
Automated tests are written to enable a programme to follow a series of steps to check whether the system under test is behaving as expected. These tests are often run on a pipeline to eliminate human intervention in repetitive, time-consuming tasks, providing a way to minimise errors and free up time for different types of testing.
There are lots of frameworks available that support automated tests to be written in a variety of programming languages. Popular choices include Cypress and Playwright, which can both be written in TypeScript.
