Last Wednesday Michael Palotas and I have given together a presentation at the Swiss Testing Day 2012 in Zürich about the 10 (sometimes painful) Lessons we have learned in test automation and the presentation is about:
eBay’s European quality engineering team has broad experience implementing end-to-end test automation in different software development environments (agile, waterfall, co located , outsourced, distributed). This presentation illustrates the key lessons learned from a technical and business perspective
Agenda
- Flip the testing triangle
- Everyone knows what’s automated
- A tool is not a strategy
- Write the right tests
- Instant Feedback is essential
- Automation is software development itself
- Maintainability is king
- Speak the same language as the developers
- Invest into the test Infrastructure
- Manual Testing is still very important
