Optimize Your Test Automation to Deliver More Value

Add to calendar

Mary Thorn walked into an organization that had invested heavily in test automation. Unfortunately they had no strategy, test suites had grown unwieldy, test maintenance was a nightmare, many tests were failing—and no one seemed to care. But Mary’s saddest observation was that they, mainly the leadership but the teams as well, had lost faith in test automation. Mary knows it doesn’t have to be that way. She’s a well-known automation disaster recovery agent who is going to share her secrets with you. Mary begins with how to keep your test automation light, nimble, and cost-effective; how to keep it running 24/7; and how to make sure what’s running is delivering value and evolving with the product. She explores how to create test automation strategies that are flexible and sound. Join Mary to learn how you can create an automation program that really works—and even more importantly, one that delivers value for you, your teams, and your organization.
