Test Automation cover

The practice of test automation is invaluable for modern software testers. This comprehensive guide for managers covers test automation in-depth for medium- to large-scale implementations, from the benefits of test automation to defining, building and implementing a test automation approach that is fit-for-purpose, to acquiring and executing test execution tools and frameworks.

'With software, praise is often directed to designers and developers. More emphasis should go to the testers who ensure great, reliable, predictable, and trustable products get to market and deliver on their promise! Boby Jose provides a thorough and practical primer to the mindset and role of Test Automation as part of a holistic testing program. Perfect for anyone entering the software field, this guide explains test automation across multiple SDLCs and teaming models. A great place to start and grow in the craft of delivering great software and results.' -- Peter Borden, Digital & Technology Executive
'Provides a practical overview into test automation. It gives food for thought to any manager who considers taking up that often misunderstood part of software testing. The book explains why companies typically use test automation, for what cost, and with what kind of professionals, tools, and approaches. It gives such good examples of automation processes and tools that it works also for anyone wanting to become a test automation expert.' -- Kari Kakkonen, author of software testing books 'Dragons Out!' and 'Agile Testing Foundations'
This is an elegantly written book on a topic anyone who cares about quality digital products needs to understand. Boby is a master at balancing cost, quality and time and that experience shines through in the prose. Testing is not a dark art but it is an art that can darken a product lifecycle if not treated in the thoughtful way outlined by this book. -- Jonathon Carr-Brown, Chief Operating Officer, Healthily; former Managing Director of NHS Choices
