The article is devoted to the design of a test automation system for the DBaaS Postgres Pro cloud database management manager. New approaches, concepts and definitions of the theory of test automation are formulated and old ones are updated. An analysis of modern tools widely used in commercial software development is carried out. The features of the system under test were studied, including the specifics of working with cloud computing and the Postgres DBMS. Based on the data obtained, an optimal technology stack was formed that is planned to be used in development, and functional requirements for the test automation system were developed. In practical terms, the use of this system on a DBaaS project will reduce labor intensity and speed up work at the testing and development stages, increase the efficiency of testing and the quality of the software product.
