Software Development is an ever evolving process with new research and breakthroughs making the development process more efficient and optimal. Similarly, software testing has also seen a series of changes ranging from manual to automation, and now AI test automation is making waves in the industry. If you want to know more about how software testing has evolved then do read our blog “Evolution of Software Testing”. In this particular article, we will be focusing on the difference between Test Automation and AI driven automation.
Automation and AI Automation are fundamentally different techniques.
Test Automation essentially means performing repetitive testing tasks based on the test scripts. Whereas, AI test automation involves the software to understand, learn, decide and perform on the basis of these learnings. A blog that delves into the various types of AI Automation and the current capabilities that are in the industry is here. In short, test automation isn’t “smart” and cannot “think”. While AI automation has the capability to make decisions, thus emulating human behavior, without any actual human involvement. It can spot anomalies, learn from patterns, analyze the data and then if required, can upgrade the test scripts (self healing). In simple words, AI automation adds a dimension of machine learning capabilities overlaying test automation. AI automation is still in its nascent stage and will take some time to revolutionize the testing process completely. However, we have done a quick analysis and compared how Test automation and AI automation differ. Findings are presented in the following table.
