Is Building Your Own Test Framework Really The Best Idea?
Is your testing framework a black box? Is it too fragile to change? Is it even the right framework? Maybe you have considered building your own testing framework, but with so many existing frameworks should you really try reinventing the wheel?
The answer: It depends.
Join Coveros Technical Manager Bob Foster as he shares his experience replacing a complex and fragile test automation framework at a health technology and digital tools organization with a custom-built solution. Utilizing Spec-Driven testing, the team built a lightweight, dynamic framework that focused efforts on the top of the testing pyramid. Learn about both the technical and cultural speedbumps to anticipate, and take home insights to develop your strategy.
Join this session to:
- Learn about “Spec-Driven” testing.
- Understand the difficulties in building a generic test framework to accommodate specific requests.
- Take home tips for answering the what ifs and turning your skeptics into satisfied users.
