As software creation processes continue to become more complicated, development teams are taking a more all-encompassing approach that involves agile testing methodologies.

Viewed as an analogy, agile testing methodologies ensure that software is a well-oiled machine, whereas a linear approach to testing just ensures that each of the gears is in good order. Herein lies the difference between unit tests and test automation.
