Bad testability is the root of most issues in test automation

Talk

Through my career I have seen so many times how test automation fails or just built to be very inefficient in the first place. After many years I came to the point that true root of most issues in test automation lies in application testability. Remember how easy tests are created and demonstrated during talks at any conference. It looks like you can easily automate 10-20 test scenarios per day. Multiply this number on team size and you can get number 50-100 automated test scenarios per day. Sounds amazing? But in reality this number could be 2-5 for “successful” teams and 1-2 for average team. In this talk we will review how effort is split during test automation activities, what parts hide most of complexity inside and eat our time. Hopefully at the end of the talk we will have some good recipies how to speed up test automation and significantly reduce time spent on it.
