NLP Testing Explained: Meaning, Process, and Automation Use Cases
As your applications expand, the volume of text-based information that describes how features are supposed to work grows with them. You see this all the time in user stories, API docs, product notes, release updates, and internal threads. Each source defines the behavior in slightly different ways, creating more details to analyze, align, and validate across environments. Yet traditional automation pipelines don’t process this information directly. That’s because they rely on predefined scripts and structured inputs, not on free-form language. Natural Language Processing (NLP) changes that relationship. But how? That’s what this blog post breaks down. The sections ahead explore everything about NLP testing, how NLP operates in a testing context, how its techniques translate into automation tasks, and where it strengthens test design and execution at scale. What NLP Means in the Context of Test Automation Natural Language Processing (NLP) refers to a set of computational met...
