What would be a goal of test automation in a local development environment?

The local development environment is where software is initially created and individual components can be tested through automation to verify their functional suitability. CTAL-TAE states that automated component testing, GUI testing, and API testing may all occur in this environment. Developers can also use an integrated development environment to perform white-box testing and identify coding and quality problems as early as possible. Checking the correctness of a complete build is principally associated with the build environment. Verification of interaction with other systems belongs to an integration or system integration environment once the relevant components have been combined. Performance-efficiency assessment is particularly associated with preproduction because that environment should resemble production closely. Therefore, verifying component functionality most accurately represents a typical test automation objective in a local development environment.
