Atomic Talk Title: Bad Spin! Don’t Ignore Your Automation Ecosystem

On the game show Wheel of Fortune, contestants spin a giant wheel trying to earn money and win prizes. Not all the spaces are winners, though; wheel spaces such as “Lose A Turn” or “Bankrupt” are considered “bad spins”. This talk describes a bad spin in terms of poor test automation implementation.

Join Paul Grizzaffi as he presents a bad spin from his career that was not due to not respecting the organization’s automation ecosystem, i.e., the strategy, the audience, and the environment.

Takeaways:

  1. Strategy is the why and how you should automation based on business goals and value.
  2. Audience comprises the team members directly and indirectly interested in automation.
  3. Environment is the “where” you run automation and those applications with which automation interacts.
  4. Ignoring the context-specific aspects of the ecosystem increases the risk of automation failure.
