Test Automation Pyramid
The document describes a test pyramid approach for automated testing at different levels from unit to UI. The test pyramid prioritizes unit testing which provides the most value for least cost and time, followed by integration, JavaScript, UI and web service tests which require more time and resources. Manual exploratory testing sits at the top as it is most business-facing and technology-facing tests sit at the bottom as they are most valuable to developers.

Editor's Notes
- #5 Its essential point is that you should have many more low-level unit tests than high level end-to-end tests running through a GUI. Teams understand this. However, in many cases, fail to implement it the right way Alister Scott http://watirmelon.com/2012/01/31/introducing-the-software-testing-ice-cream-cone/
- #7 Here is the structure of the talk: Explain why CI and CD are a necessity, and NOT a luxury. Discuss some of the factors that can make CD a reality. Discuss the current set of tools that assist in 'health-check' decision making for deploying / releasing the code in new environments. Explain the limitations of the above set of tools in the decision making process How can TTA bridge that gap (limitations discussed above)? Explain the value proposition for TTA Demo of TTA features Share the set of potential features to be added to TTA How can you help?
