Let the Engineers Speak | Test Maintainability

You and your team invest hours in authoring tests and architecting automation, and you celebrate your high pass rates. But when your application changes, how many of those tests fail—and why? 

Did we surface an actual regression? 

An unexpected new feature? 

An environmental issue such as a new browser or system update? 

A false-positive due to subtle movements in our locators? 

Join Ed Manlove and Maaret Pyhäjärvi as they tackle the ever-increasing challenge of test maintenance. Using Python, they’ll demonstrate practical steps you can take in Robot Framework and Selenium to ensure your test suite keeps running. 

No matter your framework, you’ll gain sound insights into building a strategy to ensure the maintainability of your tests and automation.

Key takeaways:

• Learn design principles that are essential for creating maintainable software test automation frameworks
• Explore techniques for reducing the time and cost associated with maintenance
• Compare different approaches to developing maintainable tests in Python
