Managing Successful Test Automation

Many organizations never achieve the significant benefits that are promised from automated test execution. What are the secrets to test automation success? There are no secrets, but the paths to success are not commonly understood. Dorothy Graham describes the most important automation issues that you must address, both management and technical, and helps you understand and choose the best approaches for your organization—no matter which automation tools you use. If you don’t begin with good objectives for your automation, you will set yourself up for failure later. If you don’t show return on investment (ROI) from automation, your automation efforts may be doomed, no matter how technically good they are. Join Dot to learn how to identify achievable and realistic objectives for automation, show ROI from automation, understand technical issues including testware architecture, pick up useful tips, learn what works in practice, and devise an effective automation strategy.
