Description: Automated integration testing is a type of evaluation that focuses on verifying the interaction between different components or integrated systems. These tests are fundamental in the software development cycle, as they ensure that the various parts of an application work correctly when combined. Unlike unit tests, which focus on individual components, integration tests aim to identify issues that may arise when multiple modules interact with each other. This includes verifying interfaces, communication between systems, and the correct transmission of data. Automated integration testing allows development teams to detect errors early and efficiently, reducing the time and cost of fixes. Additionally, being automated, these tests can be run continuously, facilitating continuous integration and continuous deployment in agile development environments. In summary, automated integration testing is an essential tool for ensuring the quality and functionality of complex applications, improving confidence in delivered software and optimizing the development process.
