How to Increase the Efficiency and Productivity of a Test Automation Team by Merima Ocuz
Have you ever participated in projects where testing became slow and unpredictable, but you did not have the time or any idea on how to improve it? You have a problem with allocating time for test automation since manual testing is a priority? Your test suite is unstable, and you are way behind schedule with automation? Your team members consider test automation as a waste of time, and as less reliable than manual testing?
In this presentation, we will discuss the steps to overcome such problems and to reach the ultimate testing goal: to have an efficient and productive testing process and to have a more accurate and predictable testing plan.
