In this talk, I will cover the pain points of the Test Automation process. We will discuss traps, mistakes and crazy decisions that lead to test automation failure and lost budgets.

1. Why everything is spoiled?

3. Based on real story...
Similarity to real people and events are purely coincidental :)

5. Testing - is hard
When it’s complex

7. Testing - is not a sprint

8. Testing is about risks
and saving money

9. It’s all about expectations

10. Test Automation is a reality!
but it’s just a tool...

11. Test automation is not just
driver.findBy()

12. It’s all about people!
Technologies is just a tool

14. A common fail?

15. Programming language

16. And “good hands”

17. SDET

18. Junior - Happy people
Middle - hotcakes
Senior - burned out
SDET - top notch

20. Simple and obvious actions

21. Analyze first
Selenium is not a silver bullet

22. Take into account
Application Architecture

23. Testers are dependent

25. Hang out with developers and
dive into technology
Otherwise go to QA Management, gmail и excel

26. And the most important ...

27. The way you are asking
question!

28. What to do?

29. Remember!
There is NO Silver bullet

30. Develop engineering culture
A great engineering culture results in getting things done
(software delivered), done right (quality), and happy
people and customers (overall satisfaction).

32. Love mom, write tests
