  • What would you do? How can I automate this? posted by davgonca. A great thread helping someone quite new to automation with suggestions of approaches, questions to ask and resources to explore.
  • Missing Layer From The Test Automation Pyramid posted by friendlytester. An exploration of an addition to the automation pyramid, testability, what do you think testability brings to the traditional pyramid model?

Online Meetup: Knowing your Automation with Hugh McCamphill - Thursday 9th May 2019 6.30 UK Time

Over the years Hugh has created many frameworks and abstractions for UI test automation, for both coders and non-coders alike. Looking back, were these good or useful abstractions? How leaky were they and what were the consequences for users of these abstractions?

Join Hugh as he takes you through some lessons learnt, patterns and approaches that have personally been successful, and some observations on current trends in relation to abstractions and knowing your automation.
