Isn’t Test Automation a Silver Bullet?

Kurzbeschreibung

As we all know, automated testing is a great way to reduce manual effort since it replaces the execution of tests by a human tester. So, we can eliminate not only a huge need for manpower, but also time and cost.

 

Being aware that automation is still very useful, perhaps the question we need to explore is, what doesn't it solve? Or what are the biggest pitfalls in building test automation itself?

 

In this talk, I collected my personal experiences focused on the challenges of test automation in global projects. I will share numerous real-life examples causing trouble in terms of testing and ways to cope with them.
