Perfecting the Craft of Test Automation

by Maaret Pyhäjärvi


10 Years has passed….


The World of Automation Today

We have the tools and knowledge to do it well!


Testing is done by People. Our features define how well testing gets done.


1. Without clean code, all the test automation in the world will not save you.

2. Create a mindshare between testers, test automators and developers.

3. There’s more to test automation landscape than the usual suspects.


Clean Code Without It, All the test automation

in the world won’t save you


Invest in… Testing vs. Refactoring


Technical Debt is not a decision, it’s like gaining

weight.


Messy code is hard to handle without side-

effects


Clean Production and Automation Code


Make your coded tests smaller and faster


Your tests are not flaky, you are.


Continuous Delivery without Test Automation

exists.


Without clean code, all the test automation in the world will not save you.


Mindshare Similar Enough to Get Along,

Diverse Enough for Better Impact


(Exploratory) Tester

(Application) Programmer

Test Automator / Programmer


"All the brilliant people working on the same thing, at the same time, in

the same space, on the same computer." -- Woody Zuill


We raise our collective competence, allowing

individuals to use specialized skills


Dumbing down automation from

programming work is a disservice to all.


When you work on

Hard problem è Solution

Easy problem è Innovation


Learning Through Osmosis


Create a mindshare between testers, test

automators and developers.


Test Automation Landscape

More than the Usual Suspect of Regression


Automation of the Environment


Disposable test automation to

aid exploration


From Page-Object Pattern to

Screenplay Pattern


Multi-Locators


From Asserts to Approvals


Theory Tests and Partial Oracles

Given Any X Expect Y


Model-based Test Automation


There’s more to test automation landscape

than the usual suspects.


Good Enough of today is not good

enough of tomorrow.
