Automated Testing in DevOps
Automated testing is a crucial component of the
DevOps methodology, ensuring the quality and
reliability of software applications through the
use of tools and scripts that execute tests
without manual intervention. This approach
enhances development speed, reduces human error,
and enables continuous integration and delivery.
