Web Seminar: Practical Testing and Evolution: An Enterprise-wide Automation Framework
Test automation efforts are created, stumble, and die. Most often this is the result of misconceived perceptions of the effort and resources necessary to implement a successful, long-lasting automation framework. ThoughtWorks test automation experts, Jeff Rogers and Kristan Vingrys, provide guiding principles for developing long-term automation strategies including what to automate, setting reasonable automation strategies and goals, and how to evolve your test suites over time.

A well-rounded and effective test data management (TDM) strategy can rapidly reduce inefficiencies, help extract greater value from expensive data, and make validated test data available in an organized, secure, consistent, and controlled manner. By using the right test data and test data management strategy, QA teams increase the reliability of testing. This paper addresses how to ensure that the business invests in software product line automation and processes for managing software variations that are aligned to product delivery, steps involved in the construction of a good test data management strategy, and actions taken to align the software.
