Which Tests Should We Automate - Angie Jones - Sr. Automation Engineer, Twitter
Abstract
More and more teams are coming to the realization that automating every single test may not be the best approach. However, it’s often difficult to determine which tests should be automated and which ones are not worth it.
When asked “which tests should we automate?”, Angie Jones’ answer is always “it depends.” Several factors should be considered when deciding on which tests to automate and many times that decision is contextual.
Join in on this session where Angie will explore features and associated tests, then discuss whether the tests should be automated or not considering the factors and context provided.
Attendees to this session will take away:
- Identification of the key factors to consider when deciding which tests to automate
- How to gather the data needed to make these decisions
- A formula that can be applied to any test to determine if it should be automated or not
