"One thing to keep in mind is that it can be anything. It doesn't have to be the test, but anything that you're automating. It needs to be worth the time that you're putting into it and the maintenance that has to happen for it, because it's code. Code is still code."

Enjoyed Hilary Weaver and Suman Bala discuss test automation principles, myths and red flags in the Software Testing Essentials Certificate (STEC).
