Mountain climbing metaphors are old and tired. The Valley of Success is about crafting your automated testing framework in a way that maximizes maintainability by minimizing complexity. This talk will frame the way to create a test automation strategy keeping in mind the costs of creating, executing and maintaining tests. There are seven primary components of a successful automated test framework:
1. Assertions on Actions 2. Set up and Tear Down 3. Data Modeling 4. Configuration 5. Site Modeling 6. Wrappers and Helpers 7. APIs
This talk will cover each of these and provide specific suggestions for how to implement them while staying in the Valley of Success.
