Test Automation Engineer

Test Automation Engineer

Automation Test Engineers are the developers who continuously design, program, and deploy new testing software to automate the testing process and reduce human efforts. It also allows the companies to spend more time developing and maintaining the applications, instead of testing. So, in this blog, we’ll be discussing what automation test engineers really are, their needs in the organization and roles and responsibilities. Also, we’ll grow through the automation test life cycle, job opportunities, and the average salary of an automation test engineer.
