Need to Work   

Need to repeat tests Reproducible Coding that will interact with automation tool

Benefits  

Time Accuracy

Steps to Automate    

Create organization Simple record actions Add verification points Make robust  



Add code to handle possible errors Add functions, headers

Create shell scripts

Type of Verification Points     
