Yesterday's London Selenium Meetup was great and topics covered by both the speaker are very close to my heart. Both the speakers, Richard and Haroon spoke about the need to go beyond checks in test automation.
In many teams, automation is viewed as a tool to confirm checks. There is nothing wrong with this definition, however, when you look at the automation in this way, it limits the benefits you can derive from the automation.
However, when you think of automation as testing assisted by tools, you can derive much more benefits.
Both Haroon and Richard shared different ways in which they used Selenium WebDriver and other automation tools to assist their testing. Unfortunately, this talk was not recorded, but I am hoping that Richard and Haroon will post their slides on their blog / slideshare etc. |
