Test Automation for the Non-Technical Tester

Presented at STC Bangalore 2012.

Non-technical testers sometimes fear automated testing. Often this fear is from FUD or misunderstanding automation's role. This talk hopes to bridge the gap of misunderstanding so non-technical testers (those who've traditionally been "manual" testers) can understand how automation helps them deliver better value to the project by focusing on exploratory and high-value testing instead of rote repetition of manual test scripts.
