The document discusses test automation and provides guidance on what types of tests to automate and how to improve test automation skills. It recommends automating tests that are deterministic, don't require human interaction, need to run multiple times, and focus on risk areas and critical paths. It also suggests learning the automation tool stack, how tools integrate, and staying up to date on new developments in test automation. The document outlines a general test automation process from planning to scripting to execution and refactoring. It also lists several programming languages and approaches commonly used for test automation.

12. • TESTS ARE DETERMINISTIC / HAVE PREDICTABLE REULTS
• TESTS THAT DON'T NEED HUMAN INTERACTION
• TEST THAT NEED TO RUN MORE THAN ONCE
• ANY MANUAL PROCESS THAT WILL SAVE ENGINEERS TIME (NOT
NECESSARILY AN OFFICIAL “TESTING” PROCESS)
• TEST THAT FOCUS ON THE RISK AREAS OF YOUR APPLICATION
• TEST THAT NEED TO RUN AGAINST DIFFERENT DATA SETS
• TEST THAT ARE HARD TO TEST MANUALLY
• FOCUS ON CRITICAL PATHS OF YOUR APPLICATION
• TEST THAT NEED TO RUN AGAINST MULTIPLE BUILDS OS AND
BROWSERS
• TESTS USED FOR LOAD/STRESS TESTING
