Automation Development: Beyond Technology

In the modern software world, automation development for testing is a vital field that enables organizations to maintain a fast development pace and high efficiency. This process is carried out by writing code aimed at developing software that performs QA tests automatically. Test automation provides quick and accurate feedback about the system’s status in an agile development environment, thereby instilling confidence in the rapid development of new features and product improvements. It is an essential tool for maintaining competitiveness in the rapidly evolving market

challenges in automation development


In the process of setting up a test automation development project, you may encounter challenges such as complex maintenance of scripts, unstable tests, and difficulties in understanding the reasons for test failures. All of these can make automation a burden instead of a help.

Principles for Success

Success in an automation testing project depends not only on tools and technologies but primarily on proper work methods, strategic planning, and perseverance. It's essential to understand that tools are just one part of the equation. Success in automation development relies on proven and consistent work methods. Here are some examples and recommendations for work methods that can enhance the process:

1. Test Suite Planning: Develop a test suite that aligns with the organization's goals and strategy. This includes understanding risks, prioritizing tests, and allocating resources based on project-specific needs.

2. Peer Code Review: Cultivating a consistent and constructive peer code review culture can identify issues and improve code quality before it interfaces with the larger system.

3. Systematic Test Tracking and Reporting: Using automated tools to track and report test results can help identify recurring trends and issues.

4. Consistent Testing Environment: A stable and uniform testing environment ensures consistent test execution and reduces the likelihood of environmental errors.

5. Test Independence: Each test should be self-contained so that test failures or changes in execution order don't impact the entire test suite.

6. Clear Documentation and Communication: Detailed documentation of tests and processes assists new team members and employees joining the project.

7. Setting Clear Expectations: Defining clear, measurable goals for the project helps the team focus and achieve desired outcomes.

8. Modular Development: Splitting code into separate modules can ease maintenance and future test expansion.

9. Agile Development Methodologies: Agile development can help teams respond quickly to changes and adapt tests according to evolving requirements.

Avoiding Failure Loops

While many organizations efficiently manage their system and product development, they often struggle to apply the same successful management approaches to automation development. This common obstacle leads to recurring and persistent failures in automated projects.
To prevent failure loops, it's crucial to recognize that automation development is no less challenging than developing the product itself. It requires the same attention to detail, strategic planning, and consistent implementation of effective work methods. Organizations should view their automation projects as integral to the final product they're building and invest in proper automation management to significantly improve quality and stability.


"While advanced technologies, including AI, can aid in automation test development, they do not replace proper work methods and cannot guarantee overall project success. Strategic management of the automation project is essential for enhancing product quality and stability."
