Automation Insights: Successful Test Automation Tips from Companies at the Forefront

Ever wonder what another company gets up to with their test automation? Are you curious to know how others maintain their test automation frameworks? 

We can learn a lot from the test automation strategies of other organisations. Read on for successful test automation tips from companies at the forefront.

• Renka Gaddu and Vaibhav Vaja from Admiral Group share that visual automated testing has emerged as a pivotal component of modern Quality Engineering in their organisation. They highlight the importance of developing their own release strategy, including a well-thought-out branching strategy that includes an approval system. 
• At Guild Education, Melissa Tondi highlights the importance of a centralised repository and guidelines, along with leveraging metrics and a “leave no trace” method.
• Atmaram Naik from Sedin Technologies helped move from an arrange-act-assert approach to state-based automation. As part of that, they introduced a state dependency graph to help come up with test steps. 
• The folks at the DVLA, such as Nigel Brookes-Thomas and Alexander O'Mahoney , developed an SDET capability by bringing software engineers and testers together to learn from each other. Since starting the initiative in 2018, this involved establishing testing standards, a community of practice and accountability.
