Automation in software development is crucial as it leads to faster innovation, improved efficiency, fewer human mistakes, and better software development. The article discusses the role of automation in Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD), practices where developers integrate changes into the central repository and have them deployed in production easily and fast. These practices also reduce the number of human errors during integration. The author notes that automated testing can significantly improve the quality of software development and reduce the need for manual testing. Automated tests can be repeated for multiple cycles and therefore result in shorter Test Cycle Time, faster feedback periods, and more complex tasks can be left for developers.
