• “99% of respondents face some kind of challenge with
testing in agile development.”
• “Test automation tools are fundamental to achieving
the continuous testing approach required by DevOps.”
• “by 2021, 50% of enterprises will leverage intelligent
test automation driven by AI and machine learning.”

We don't have the right automation tools
Challenge with the Test Data and Environment Availability
Delivery methodology doesn't support test automation
We have difficulties to integrate the different automation
tools together
Application functionality changes too frequently
We don't have the right automation testing
process/method
Lack of stability of test script
Lack of skilled and experience test automation resource
We have difficulties to automate because of use of multiple
development lifecycles

• -1 is mathematically correct
• 0 if I don’t want to payback gift certiﬁcates to costumers
• 23 if I’m working with hours
• 59 if I’m working with minutes or seconds
• Something between 27 and 30 if I’m working with days
• 11 if I am working with months

driver = new RecheckDriver( new ChromeDriver() );
// Use the unbreakable recheck implementation.
re = new RecheckWebImpl();
// Single call instead of multiple assertions
re.check( driver, "index" );
// Will issue a warning, as the id has changed
driver.findElement( By.id( "intro-slider" ) );

@roesslerj53
*************** recheck warning ***************
The HTML id attribute used for element identification changed from 'intro-
slider' to 'introSlider'.
retest identified the element based on the persisted old state.
If you apply these changes to the state , your test will break.
Use `By.id("introSlider")` or `By.retestId("9c40281d-5655-4ffa-9c6d-
d079e01bb5a3")` to update your test.

@roesslerj54
Beneﬁts of recheck:
- Reduce effort to create tests
- Reduce effort to maintain tests
- Tests are more complete
- Tests are less fragile
