The Night's Talk by Stephen Vance

Scaling Your Automated Tests Effectively

Oftentimes the arguments against test automation are grounded in the same pains we feel as a test automation effort grows. Tests become brittle, slow, and hard to maintain so people become frustrated, stop writing them, and sometimes stop running them. This can be mitigated and avoided. We'll talk about the causes of and solutions to this dilemma, with code.
