Increasing test automation is a key practice in Agile methodologies to support continuous integration
and continuous deployment (CI/CD). Automated tests can be run quickly and frequently, which is
essential for continuous deployment to be effective. By automating the testing process, teams can
ensure that new code changes are tested thoroughly and consistently, leading to more frequent and
reliable deployments to production.
