We have a new breed of a developer known as the automation tester whose primary reason for being is not only to find bugs but also to write a regression test to negate the need to do a re-run of the initial manual testing.Īutomated regression tests sound great in theory, and anybody starting a new job could not fail to be impressed when finding out that every story in every sprint would have an accompanying end-to-end test written in Selenium webdriver. If I am not mistaken, I appear to have awoken in an alternate reality where vast sums of money, time, and resources are allocated to both the writing and the continual maintenance of end-to-end tests. Nearly all automation testers I have worked with have busted a gut to make this faulty machine work. I believe these problems are industry-wide having spoken to others.
Automated testing is not workingīefore I start, I want to point out that I am not referring to one particular project or any particular individual. Paul Cowan Follow Contract software developer.
