Test automation is a best practice in SAFe and is typically included in the Definition of Done (DoD).

The DoD ensures that all work is tested and validated before being considered complete. Including

test automation in the DoD supports continuous integration, reduces manual testing effort, and

increases the reliability of every increment.
