Automation testing streamlines the software development process by replacing manual testing with automated scripts. These scripts can execute repetitive tasks, freeing up valuable developer time to focus on more complex aspects of development. This course will introduce you to automation testing, the process of programmatically executing tests at predefined frequencies or within your continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) workflow. Next, you will create a production-scale application programming interface (API) server on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and install the Newman command line interface (CLI) for Postman. You will then explore running collections using Newman CLI and analyze test results in requests. Finally, you will configure CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions. This involves creating a local Git repository and linking it to a remote GitHub repository. You will then push your Postman tests to these repositories. You will create a GitHub Actions pipeline to run on a push to the main branch and execute tests stored in your GitHub repository. You will also learn how to view test results and send an email when the workflow runs to completion.
