Abstract

Software Quality Assurance (SQA) plays a critical role in ensuring that software systems are reliable, functional, and meet specified requirements. Automated testing frameworks have revolutionized the field of SQA by enabling faster feedback cycles, reducing human error, and increasing test coverage. These frameworks integrate continuous integration pipelines and DevOps practices to ensure consistent validation throughout the development lifecycle. This paper explores the mechanisms and methodologies of automated testing frameworks, their benefits and challenges, and their contribution to achieving superior software quality.
