A look at years of industry research and experience as to why companies so often get automation wrong and what they can do to address these common failures
I think everyone agrees that test automation is necessary in a world which demands software delivery almost instantaneously. The truth is though that many companies are struggling to finding traction with their automation and end up falling back on manual tests because their automation kept failing them. Thankfully though we can learn from these mistakes and put into practice a variety of solutions that will help ensure your automation endeavours can be a success and meet the needs of your software.
As someone who has spent the last 15 years looking at different companies and how they build and automate software, I have learnt a lot of lessons on what can cause automation efforts to fail and how these challenges can be turned around for success. In this talk, I plan to provide some insights into automation failures of the past, along with solutions and recipes that can be applied to ensure this doesn't happen to others.
