Test automation is a basic requirement for releasing software quickly, but most companies struggle to launch or maintain it successfully. This session explores the obstacles getting in the way of scalable test automation, and actions you can take now to get on the right track. We will delve into the cost, time, risks, and even security implications of poor adoption of test automation, as well as the short and long-term benefits you gain from a strategic approach to test automation. We cover test strategy, tooling, and how to optimize testing across the right mix of devices to ensure your customers always experience the best your business has to offer
