English | EN Current state of test automation (with Vincent Wijnen)
About the author
SogetiLabs gathers distinguished technology leaders from around the Sogeti world. It is an initiative explaining not how IT works, but what IT means for business.
In the podcast Vincent Wijnen talks among others about Test Automation (TA) testability in Systems Under Test as being an issue. However, along with object/element recognition image recognition works fine in at least several codeless TA-tools.
Agreed, TA is an investment in better quality, and teams can let go of test repetitive tasks – unleashing their human energy to develop even more creatively.
Even with good object or element detection I often see misuse of standard object/element implementation in a code environment. This often leads to difficulties with recognition in TA. Testability is also adhering to coding standards and guidelines (providing that the guidelines lead to testable applications:) ).
