An Agile Test Automation Strategy for Everyone

Most systems are not designed to make test automation easy! Fortunately, the whole-team approach, prescribed by most agile methodologies, gives us an opportunity to break out of this rut. Gerard Meszaros describes the essential elements of a practical and proven agile test automation strategy. He describes the different kinds of tests we need to have in place and which team members should prepare and automate each kind of test. All project roles—software developers, testers, BAs, product owner or product manager, and even the software architect—have a part to play in this strategy, and all will benefit from a deeper understanding. Join Gerard and learn how to avoid the doomed classical approach of automating your manual tests and hoping that they find new bugs.
