Automation testing has revolutionized the way we approach software testing today. There are multiple ways in which a test automation tool can simplify the process of testing for QA professionals, and contributes to increased efficiency of the testing process. Given below are some of the key benefits of test automation over manual testing:

• Reduced dependencies on subject matter experts and tool experience
• Reduced test data setup time with increased quality and reliability
• Reduced defects and faster time to market
• Faster realization of Return on Investments (ROI)
• Increased flexibility to reach multiple target devices and browsers
• Significant cut down in regression and integration test cycles
• Reduced (nearly 60%) manual regression and testing efforts
