“Test frequently and early.” If you’ve been following my testing agenda, you’re probably sick of hearing me repeat that.

The key to successful test automation is to focus on tasks that maximize the return on investment (ROI), ensuring that you are automating the right tests and automating them in the right way. This is where test automation strategies come into play.

When most firms employed a waterfall development model, it was widely joked about in the industry that Google kept its products in beta forever. Google has been a pioneer in making the case for in-production testing. Traditionally, before a build could go live, a tester was responsible for testing all scenarios, both defined and extempore, in a testing environment.

Developers, designers, build engineers, other stakeholders, and end users, both inside and outside the product team, are testing the product and providing feedback.
