Automated regression testing is a key component in modern web and application development. The benefit is being able to deploy new code without breaking existing functionality. Testing robots do the work while you sit back satisfied that your army of bots is making sure you're shipping code with more confidence.

Adding automated testing into your devops process can also be confusing and intimidating. It takes practice to design effective UI tests that provide coverage but aren't too brittle.
