Many organizations are introducing test automation only to discover it is more difficult than they anticipated. The fact is that good test automation requires good coding practices. Good test automation requires good design. To do anything else will lead to spaghetti code that is hard to maintain or update. If you’re new to coding or new to automation, it is difficult to know where to begin. Join Cheezy as he describes and demonstrates lessons he has learned while helping numerous organizations adopt test automation. Cheezy shows the patterns he uses to keep automation code simple and clean, and demonstrates techniques you can use to make your automation code more maintainable. Finally, Cheezy writes code (without a net) to implement these patterns, taking them from theory to implementation.
