For our eleventh session of TestBash Home 2021, @testerawesome takes to the stage to explore how testers can contribute meaningfully to automation if they donā€™t know how to write code. Luke will also explore what automation is and what itā€™s purpose is.

Weā€™ll use this Club thread to share resources mentioned during the talk and answer any questions we donā€™t get to during the live session.

Questions we didnā€™t get to

  1. Alex Furch: how to make non-technical people understand the (useful) limits of automation and thus be more empathetic to the people working on such a topic?
  2. Ladybug: In my team, devs code automation. Any suggestions to help coach them to make tests more informative so non-coders can help w/ things like pruning and priority?
  3. Nicola Lindgren: How have people responded in the past when you start to question doing automation itself? (as to whether or not it achieves business goals)
  4. Maik N.: What approach do you use to convince folks to use automation senseful, especially if they have no coding knowledge?
  5. Damjan Miladinovic: What do you think of codeless automation (like UIlicious or selenium IDE). Is it good starting point for testers who do not know how to code?
  6. Simon Rigler: How would you encourage a scrum-team approach and culture to developing and maintaining an automation project ?
  7. monika s: From the perspective of the workload, shouldnā€™t the automation tester be a specific position, as opposed to a manual tester?
  8. Priya Ramkumar: With the current market trend,all the hiring companies are asking for automation testers.How can we crack the technical round where we are asked to code?
  9. saritha pr: How are automation tests planned within the sprint along with regular manual and feature based tests?
