3 Automation Testing Mistakes & How to Correct Them?
summary
Three concrete failures and fixes: giant overnight suites cause hours‑long feedback loops so replace them with smaller centralized suites run in the pipeline to give multiple runs for multiple devs and immediate, actionable results; chasing percentage metrics leads teams to automate everything instead of automating essentials so start with smoke tests (CRUD) tied to the definition of done and measure automatable coverage not test-counts; siloed automation teams block ownership so adopt tests as a service so developers run and trust tests locally and frees QA to target higher risk work.
