Automated testing is important for Rails applications because it saves time by reducing manual testing and catches regression errors. The document discusses different testing approaches like test-driven development (TDD), behavior driven development (BDD), and specific tools used for testing Rails apps like MiniTest, RSpec, Cucumber, and Capybara. TDD focuses on writing tests before code, BDD uses a domain-specific language to describe tests in a way that both developers and customers understand, and these tools can automate different types of tests for Rails.
