Business analysts have a key role in ensuring that software applications meet the business requirements and expectations. One way they can contribute to the software development process is by automating testing procedures. Test automation helps improve efficiency, reduce manual errors, and speed up the testing process.

There are several techniques and tools available for business analysts to utilize in automating testing. These include using test automation frameworks such as Selenium, Appium, or TestComplete, writing automated test scripts for repetitive test cases, and integrating continuous testing practices into the software development lifecycle.

By automating testing procedures, business analysts can ensure that software applications are thoroughly tested for bugs and issues, resulting in higher quality products being delivered to customers.
