One way to define automation is as a way to minimize human interventions to avoid manual tasks that often lead to mistakes. Apart from avoiding mistakes, it also highly benefit to save time and let researchers focus on tasks that require more knowledge. In this hacky hour, we discuss and share our experience on topics of automation in software development in research.
