UI and API Test Automation Standards and Best Practices

The next most voted/asked topic I've been getting is around "Standards and Best Practices" when it comes to Test Automation.

I normally try to avoid saying "best practices" in testing because there aren't many, but we'll go over good practices, standards, and patterns you can use to know that you're doing it well -- especially starting out!

Some things we'll cover:
- How do you start a test automation project?
- How should I organize my testing?
- What should I call things like folders and files?
- What are some DOs and DONTs?
- What tools can/should I be using to help me with test automation?
- How do I know when I'm done automating tests?
- How do I know when a test should or shouldn't be automated?
- What is Test Data Management?
- I'm sure there will be more!

You're not required to bring a laptop, but sessions like this are WAY more valuable when you bring what you're working on so we can help directly in your context.
