Building Sustainable Test Automation

Organisations today are struggling to extend test automation adoption, which typically remain too low to keep up with fast-changing software. A lack of testing rigour then creates negative risk for business-critical software releases. Organisations are therefore seeking to reduce a reliance on manual testing processes. Many look to third parties to provide additional people-hours, while others purchase new tools. The first approach risks building an expensive "black box", creating a costly dependency on services to maintain the test automation framework. The second risks vendor lock and spending money on a tool that will become shelfware. This eBook sets out how an Open Testing Platform instead works as an accelerator alongside tools and teams, maximising reusability and automation in testing.
