This is a book for my drawings, plus anything else I make using apps/games, character makers etc. Originally it was just my Divinata Automata (Millicent) stuff, but goodness knows If I'll ever continue that since it needs serious work. So I figured I might as well rework this book to be a spot to put ALL my arty things.

Automation is the much talked about word in today's world. The computerization which gained momentum in the last decade of the last century is at its peak now with almost the entire world is moving towards the goal of hundred percent computerization. At this juncture, automation is gaining more popularity and wide acceptance. Literally, automation has been replaced many manual jobs in different sectors. Software testing is an area which has been automated even before this trend came to exist. There are many advantages for automating software testings and some of them are as follows; Manual Testing requires a lot of manpower and it leaves a good amount of financial burden on the company. When you automate the testing processes, you can reduce the manpower considerably and thus can bring down the cost for testing. AS many software testing tools are available free, the cost can be reduced to a greater extent. Manual testing is a tedious job which consumes a lot of time. In many cases, a test case may need to be tested repeatedly and in some other cases, each test should be executed on different platforms and on different browsers. When you are doing it manually, it will take more time and the entire project may get delayed. Here, the test automation tools will help to reduce the turnaround time as parallel multiple testings are possible in automation testing. Moreover, there will not be any need to write the test scripts again and again. In automated <a href="https://anyaut.com/">software testing</a>, the chances for manual errors are very less or nil. Hence, the result will be accurate. Today, the software sector is experiencing hectic competition and is such a competitive market price of the product and the quality plays important roles in deciding the fate of the business. Automated software testings make both these criteria favourable and thus it gained wide acceptance.

Junos was, for a lack of better words, screwed. If she didn't produce results worthy of her rank, then surely the Auditors would be forced to strip her from her sorceress license, her workshop, her everything. She couldn't afford to fail, not with the fact that the livelihood of her apprentices was also at stake. With the clues given by her trusted peers, the sorceress and the twins would traverse the far reaches of the country in search for a solution. What they didn't expect was a fateful encounter with a solitary girl, non-human in origin, who would play a major role in Junos' life in the coming months.
