Automated tests become more useful when they run on every code change. That’s where CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI come in. They let you run tests automatically when code is pushed or merged.

To integrate tests, write a script that runs your test suite and add it to your pipeline config. If the tests fail, the build should fail too. This prevents broken code from reaching production.

Keep your test runs fast. Separate unit tests from UI tests. Run critical UI tests first. Use parallel jobs if your CI system allows it.

You can also add steps for linting, checking test coverage, or uploading test reports. These small additions make your pipeline more valuable.

Test automation in CI/CD is not just a nice-to-have. It’s how you catch bugs before they reach users. Set it up early and improve it over time.
