Automation
@angelariggs_ TestBash SF | 2019
@angelariggs_ TestBash SF | 2019
@angelariggs_ TestBash SF | 2019 ✦ How do I choose
a framework? ✦ Who should write the tests? ✦ Should I run tests in our pipeline? ✦ Which tests should I automate? ✦ What are some best practices?
@angelariggs_ TestBash SF | 2019 When should we use test
automation?
@angelariggs_ TestBash SF | 2019 Why do we test? ✦
Prevent defects ✦ Maintain quality ✦ Meet users’ needs ✦ Increase confidence ✦ Understand our product
@angelariggs_ TestBash SF | 2019 Why do we automate? ✦
Run tests faster ✦ Better coverage ✦ Increase reliability ✦ Reusable / repeatable ✦ More frequent testing
@angelariggs_ TestBash SF | 2019
@angelariggs_ TestBash SF | 2019 Automation is not the goal.
The goal is to have tests that enhance your ability to achieve and maintain quality.
@angelariggs_ TestBash SF | 2019 When should we use test
automation?

@angelariggs_ TestBash SF | 2019 Use automation for low-risk items
so you can focus on high-risk and high-priority functionality.
@angelariggs_ TestBash SF | 2019 High-risk items that need consistent
testing
@angelariggs_ TestBash SF | 2019 API tests Critical workflows Performance

paid?

tests?

allow for faster test runs with parallelism.
@angelariggs_ TestBash SF | 2019 Failures
@angelariggs_ TestBash SF | 2019
@angelariggs_ TestBash SF | 2019 The goal of automation isn’t
having tests that pass. The goal of automation is having tests that accurately catch failures.
@angelariggs_ TestBash SF | 2019 If a test never fails,
is it providing value?
@angelariggs_ TestBash SF | 2019 Planning for failure means writing
your tests in a way that make those failures useful.

so you know when to use it
@angelariggs_ TestBash SF | 2019 Understand how to get buy-in
for prioritizing automation work
@angelariggs_ TestBash SF | 2019 Understand how to research frameworks,
so you can find the one that meets your needs
@angelariggs_ TestBash SF | 2019 Understanding good automation practices, so
you can create anti-fragile tests
