How to Become an Automation QA Controller in JavaScript (From Manual QA) | by Vadym Nastoiashchyi | January 2025
Understanding Automation Quality Assurance
Quality assurance automation involves using specialized software tools to run tests, report results, and compare results with previous test executions. Testing is performed automatically, requiring minimal human intervention, allowing for more frequent and comprehensive testing.
1. Efficiency and speed: Automated testing is significantly faster than manual testing.
2. Accuracy: Automation reduces human errors in repetitive and detailed testing cases.
3. Cost effective: Although initial setup costs are high, automation saves time and money in the long run due to its efficiency.
4. Running complex tests: Automation allows you to execute complex test cases that are difficult to evaluate manually.
Getting Started with JavaScript for Test Automation
HAS start writing your test automation scripts, you must be familiar with the programming language. We should pause here and emphasize the importance of not only learning how certain tools work, but also understanding and using them. If you miss this basic step, you will have huge problems knowing how to create a proper testing framework from scratch, how to support what you have configured, and how to scale your testing framework. So take a responsible approach to learning JavaScript. At first it will be enough to understand core JS. Types and data, operators, loops, data structures, asynchronous operations — this is your foundation.
– Learn JavaScript: Start by understanding the basics of JavaScript. Resources like Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) and JavaScript.info are great for beginners.
