Description: Operational testing procedures are a set of guidelines and standards designed to systematically conduct tests on computer systems and applications. These tests are essential to ensure that software operates correctly in a real environment and meets established requirements. The procedures include test planning, defining acceptance criteria, executing tests, and documenting results. Automating these tests allows for greater efficiency, as they can be executed repeatedly without manual intervention, reducing time and associated costs. Additionally, operational testing procedures help identify errors and defects in the early stages of development, contributing to improved quality of the final product. In a world where speed and accuracy are crucial, these procedures have become indispensable for companies seeking to maintain their competitiveness in the market. Implementing automated testing not only optimizes the development process but also facilitates continuous integration and continuous delivery, allowing development teams to respond quickly to changes in customer requirements and new technologies.
