There are many kinds of tests, depending on application type and customer environment. But generally, tests can be simplified into unit, acceptance and exploration tests. Unit test automation had been discussed in the Devops Build Management course. If any test is run only once, there is no need for automation, however that is often not the case. This course gives insights in automation of different test types and what is needed to enable the process. The students get insights in standards needed and test ownerships. The course also provides competency to evaluate where to start and in which order to automate testing.
