Speech title

Why Is Test Automation Still Manual and How Can We Make It Really Automated?

Talk description

The biggest advantage of automation testing over manual testing is that it allows you to do more testing in less time. But, is it really the case? We expect it to increase productivity and save us manual efforts. Do we really achieve these levels of productivity and efficiency? While automated testing has advanced significantly over time with its ability to handle sophisticated testing, still more than 90% of any test automation process or activity is manual! In this session, Baris will be discussing how we can really make test automation automated, and in this way, we will be spending more time talking about testing rather than talking about software development. We will learn, how can we make use of AI and Machine Learning in this process, and ultimately focus more on testing rather than development.

Key takeaways:

Future of Test Automation
AI in Test Automation,
Simplicity in Test Automation
