What are some examples of automated validation tools?

Automated validation tools are software applications that help verify the accuracy and quality of data. Some examples include:

1. Selenium - for web application testing.
2. JUnit - for unit testing in Java.
3. Postman - for API testing.
4. Apache JMeter - for performance testing.
5. Cucumber - for behavior-driven development.

How does Selenium work for validation?

Selenium automates web browsers, allowing you to write test scripts in various programming languages. It interacts with web elements to validate their behavior and functionality, ensuring that the application works as intended.

Can you explain how to set up JUnit?

To set up JUnit, you need to:

1. Add the JUnit library to your project (via Maven or Gradle).
2. Create a test class and annotate it with @Test for each test method.
3. Run the tests using your IDE or command line.

What are the benefits of using automated validation tools?

The benefits include increased efficiency, reduced human error, faster feedback cycles, and the ability to run tests repeatedly without additional cost.
