Shorter and shorter code release cycles means there is more testing that should be done, more often and less time to do it. Test automation is a requirement if the test effort is going to provide adequate test coverage in a cost effective and efficient manor for every release. But where should you start? There are many kinds of test automation. Which ones are right for your situation? What should you automate? What tools should you use and how do you get the job done? How do you measure what you have and demonstrate the value your test automation has added? Even if you already automated testing, are you getting the best return for your investment? How do you know?

This course prepares participants to answer all of these questions as it explains how to plan your test automation effort, including required foundation processes, tool selection, team building and measurement.
