Keywords:
Automated Testing, Software Quality Assurance, Selenium, JUnit, Test Automation, Regression Testing, Performance TestingAbstract
Automated testing has become an essential practice in modern software development, enabling efficient quality assurance by reducing human error, increasing coverage, and speeding up the development lifecycle. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of automated testing frameworks and tools, highlighting their importance in improving software quality, reducing costs, and accelerating release cycles. It discusses various types of automated testing frameworks, including unit testing, functional testing, regression testing, and performance testing frameworks. Additionally, it evaluates the advantages and limitations of popular tools like Selenium, Appium, JUnit, and TestNG. The paper also presents a literature review on the evolution and impact of automated testing frameworks up to 2024, providing insights into industry trends, challenges, and future directions. Finally, the paper suggests best practices and strategies for implementing automated testing to enhance software quality assurance.
