Dominoes of Automating Testing

Add to calendar
New

Many initiatives to automate testing fail because teams focus too heavily on mastering the use of tools and frameworks, and not enough on understanding the foundational principles of a solid test automation strategy. Join Angie Jones and Paul Merrill for this interactive tutorial that requires no coding, no tools, and no laptops. Instead, let's knock down some dominoes! Learn the basic principles of good test automation by setting up dominoes in a way that solves puzzles. Angie and Paul share how to decide what to automate, how to organize test automation not only to reduce risk but also to provide fast feedback, how to integrate automated tests within a continuous integration process, and to understand how time limits us in what we can learn about our systems under test. All skill levels are welcome to join the discussion. No matter where you are in your test automation journey, there is always more to learn. Have fun while gaining critical insights into automated test strategy, design, and execution.
