Automation, in its essence, involves leveraging technology,
software, or machinery to carry out tasks that would typically
require human effort. The beauty of automation lies in its ability to
minimize or eliminate the need for constant human intervention,
allowing processes to run smoothly and efficiently.
What is Automation?

5. 5
 Task Automation
Task automation focuses on streamlining repetitive and mundane
processes like data entry, extraction, file management, and
document processing. Automating these routine tasks saves time,
reduces errors, and enables you to concentrate on high-value work.
 Test Automation
Test Automation streamlines software quality by automating testing
processes. It accelerates release cycles and significantly reduces the
time and effort spent on manual testing.
