I would like to clarify the difference between 2 concepts
Automation Development vs. Automation Testing: Key Differences
Automation development and automation testing, while related, serve different purposes and have distinct focuses.
1. Automation Development:
- Focus: Creating automated processes to enhance efficiency and productivity across various business operations.
- Tools: UiPath, Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere etc.
- Career Path: Involves designing, developing, and maintaining automation solutions for diverse business processes. This can lead to roles in process improvement, RPA (Robotic Process Automation) development, and more.
- Industry Impact: Automation development is crucial for streamlining operations, reducing manual effort, and increasing overall business efficiency.
- Automation Testing:
- Focus: Automating testing steps to ensure that new deployments or releases do not negatively impact existing features of an application or process.
- Tools: UiPath Test Suite, Selenium, UFT etc.
- Career Path: Involves creating automated test scripts, executing tests, and analyzing results to ensure software quality and reliability. This field is ideal for those passionate about software quality assurance.
- Industry Impact: Automation testing is essential for maintaining high software quality, reducing bugs, and ensuring robust, error-free applications.
Career Perspective:
- Automation Development: Often recommended for those interested in broader automation solutions beyond just testing. It offers opportunities in various industries and can lead to roles focused on process optimization and innovation.
- Automation Testing: Ideal for individuals who have a keen eye for detail and a passion for ensuring software quality. It is a specialized field that plays a critical role in the software development lifecycle.
Conclusion: While both fields share some common concepts, they cater to different aspects of automation. Automation development is generally suggested for a broader career scope, whereas automation testing is specialized in ensuring the quality and reliability of software applications.
Welcome to the community and congratulations on your first step towards a life changing journey!
As @loredana_ifrim already covered most of the points, here are my additional few pointers:
Start learning about UiPath Test Suite, Modular Design, Reusability, Exception Handling, CI/CD Integration, Unit Testing, Integration Testing, Functional Testing, Regression Testing, AI-Powered Testing.
Follow Learn -->Practice–>Engage framework which I personally follow for learning anything new.
Learn the Basics [UiPath Academy]–> Practice [We have multiple test applications and use cases. Reach out here whenever needed] → Engage with the people who are master in it [You have a whole 3B people community here for this ]
By following these guidelines and utilizing the powerful tools , you can embark on a successful career in automation testing. Good luck!
Thank you for all peoples for giving me the suggestion
