Technical debt was originally defined as code restructuring, but in today’s fast-paced software delivery environment, it has evolved. Technical debt may be anything that the software development team puts off for later, such as ineffective code, unfixed defects, lacking unit tests, excessive manual tests, or missing automated tests. And, like financial debt, it is challenging to pay back.

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.

In my last blog, I investigated both the stateless and the stateful class of model-based testing. Both have some advantages and disadvantages. You can use them for different types of systems, depending on whether a stateful solution is required or a stateless one is enough. However, a better solution is to use an aggregate technique that is appropriate for each system. Currently, the only aggregate solution is action-state testing, introduced in the book Paradigm Shift in Software Testing. This method is implemented in Harmony.

The web paradigm has changed considerably over the last few years. Web 2.0, a term coined way back in 1999, was one of the pivotal moments in the history of the Internet. UGC (User Generated Content), ease of use, and interoperability for the end-users were the key pillars of Web 2.0. Consumers who were only consuming content up till now started creating different forms of content (e.g., text, audio, video, etc.).
