Extracting Value from Test Automation is as Much About People as it is About Code
Summary
Building a high-value automated test suite is as much about effective collaboration as it is about the code being written, as is true for all other practices that go into creating excellent products. The strategies identified below build on that premise, encouraging people to collaborate more effectively in order to extract the most value out of a product’s test automation suite. At first this type of close coordination between software and test engineers can be difficult; however, over time each team finds what works best for them, and the collaboration becomes a natural part of the development workflow. All team members must be aware of the latest test run results on the clean branch so that they can feel confident that any failures on their feature work are related to their code changes. Establishing and maintaining a team process to support test automation in these ways takes time and dedication; it’s well-worth the effort.
