The technology commonly used for automated software testing is Test Automation Frameworks. These frameworks, like Selenium and JUnit, streamline the testing process by providing a set setup for designing, executing, and reporting tests. Automation enhances consistency, reduces manual errors, and speeds up the testing phases, making it easier to manage complex software projects. These frameworks support various programming languages and provide tools for integration with other DevOps practices, facilitating continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) in software development.
