Talk Description
What if there was a list of things for you to consider?
Would your morale grow if you knew how to get help on the “technical” items?
Would you be happier with knowing about “social” ones in advance?
In this talk, supported by a workshop, I will provide practical advice for anyone looking to create a test automation framework from scratch. We will look at Cypress & JavaScript examples, but the advice would apply to any test framework, language, or cloud hosting provider.
