Stoic Automation Testing
summary
Connects six Stoic maxims to concrete QA actions and shows work done inside a Java Selenium Cucumber setup: Jasecu Automation Framework holds the examples, visual checks use Percy from BrowserStack, and flaky failure triage runs through ReportPortal with its AI grouping. Claims: focus only on controllables, do hard POCs today, inspect each failure not just summary. Demos include Jenkins cucumber plugin visuals, an API POC using reusable steps, and measurable drop in repeat failures after categorization.
