Strategies to Make Your Automated Checks Reliable and Robust

The advantages of automated checks are well known; they save testers working through mundane, manual test cases repeatedly to check for regressions.
Unfortunately, their disadvantages are also well known, being prone to unreliable results and a high cost of maintainability. 

In this Masterclass, Peter shows you how to overcome the pains of writing and running automated checks and turn them into an integral part of your continuous delivery pipeline. He goes on to share his experience in writing an automated checking framework using Selenium. He'll then describe how a deployment pipeline that utilises this automated checking framework can give important information on releasability. Peter will demonstrate how to structure your code with re-usable and flexible components, making it less prone to flaky results, easier to update and easier to understand. He will also reflect on problems faced during his 9 years of writing automation code and how he overcame these issues.
