This course is intended for

The content is appropriate for test automation engineering roles, test manager roles, test lead roles, test architect roles, as well as developer roles. This course assumes you have a foundational understanding of testing and the purpose of automation. This course will be beneficial to anyone who is accountable for assessing, planning, designing, and implementing an integrated set of technology (testing infrastructure) that supports development, testing, and deployment.

Overview

Working in an interactive learning environment, led by our expert facilitator, attendees will learn to:
Document the current state of test automation in your organization
Define a custom test automation plan and architecture to fit their situation
Create an initial implementation plan
Identify initial key measures
Develop a metrics dashboard for tracking the value of test automation
Lay out a future strategy and roadmap to get there

Introduction to Test Automation is a one-day, hands-on event designed to provide participants with the skills required to develop a custom test automation plan and architecture for their organization. Throughout the course, students will examine and work through various practical examples, learning how to create an integrated test automation plan and develop a test automation architecture. Participants will also learn about the possible real-world challenges they may face while trying to accomplish their goals, exploring the practical positive aspects of engaging their technical team, along with the possible frustrations of experiencing too much isolation between test automators and test designers.
