Title:
"Fear is the mind-killer." -Banishing the Fears of Test Automation
Short synopsis:
I started out as a manual tester who had little to no coding knowledge. I didn’t even know that test automation was a thing. Once I became acquainted with the concept, I realized how amazing it would be not spending so much time performing repetitive regression/sanity tests. However, a surprising outcome of becoming acquainted with test automation was that it scared me: There was so much to learn and several hurdles to clear. Maybe you're like me. Maybe you're struggling with figuring out test automation. Maybe it's something you'd love to get into, but you find yourself putting it off because it seems too overwhelming and you’re not sure where to start. In this presentation, I'll take you down my path toward understanding test automation. I will discuss some of the challenges I faced, and share the tools/techniques I found to make some of those challenges easier to overcome. Please join me to hopefully lessen the fear of the unknown involved with getting started with test automation, and help you overcome some of those hurdles to automation success!
