Speech bullet points:
1) The main pieces of a test framework: tests, automation code, execution, reporting, communication
2) Criteria for evaluating a test framework: maintainability, reliability, speed, complexity, coverage
3) Identifying the missing pieces: flakiness, traceability, reproducibility, communication, timeliness
4) What is outside the framework: tools, processes, skills, environments, data
5) Finding the right fit for your project: language & libraries, types of tests, execution strategy
6) Solving the puzzle: steps for building or improving your framework
About the speaker:
I’ve been testing software for over 20 years. I’m an independent consultant and have worked with over 100 companies building (or fixing) test automation code and frameworks. I have seen a lot of good and bad code and met a lot of cool people. Currently, a test automation architect for Massachusettes Medical Society, publishers of the New England Journal of Medicine.
