The use of software to perform or support test activities, e.g. test management, test design, test execution and results checking.

ISTQB Glossary v2.4

In software testing, test automation is the use of special software (separate from the software being tested) to control the execution of tests and the comparison of actual outcomes with predicted outcomes.

Inclusive / Supports

Put the focus on testing and how Automation can support it, not replace it.

Automation has worked best for me, when it was supporting my testing, not demanding my attention.

@FriendlyTester#Testbash

Education

Puts the focus on your testing skills, and how such tools have supported you.

Testing and Checking, explain the difference to people.

It doesn’t have to be this way.
