💡 Quick Tips & Tricks

Automate Wisely: Focus on automating repetitive, high-value tests first. Prioritize tests that offer the most significant risk mitigation and require frequent execution.
Maintain Scalability: Design your test automation framework to be scalable from the start. Anticipate the addition of new features and tests, and ensure your framework can handle growth without significant changes.
Monitor Flaky Tests: Keep an eye on flaky tests and address their instability promptly. Flaky tests can undermine confidence in automation results, making maintenance a priority.
Utilize API Testing: Augment your UI tests with API testing to verify backend functionality and performance, which can be more stable and faster than UI testing.
Refine Test Reporting: Invest in a test reporting tool or enhance your existing one to provide detailed insights into test results, facilitating faster troubleshooting and decision-making.
