Apply automation once executing ad-hoc testing

Typically, different software testing methods and techniques are applied to fully test a project. Ad-hoc testing, which is characterized as testing with no explicit planning, test designs, or documented test cases, is one of the most widely-used methods in agile projects. Automation testing uses software tools to perform or support test activities such as management, test design, test execution and results checking. Automation testing can be effectively applied to repetitive necessary tasks in a formalized testing process or other tests that are difficult to execute manually. This presentation introduces a strategy by combining these testing approaches to improve the effectiveness of software testing.
