Test automation is the practice of using software tools to execute pre-scripted tests on a software application before it is released into production.

Automation testing improves test coverage, reduces human error, enables faster feedback loops, and allows testers to focus on more complex testing scenarios.

Popular frameworks include Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, and Puppeteer for UI testing, and REST Assured, Postman, and Supertest for API testing.

With consistent practice, you can learn the basics in 2-3 months. Mastery takes longer and requires working on real projects and continuous learning.
