Adaptive Testing
summary
Shows concrete results: moves a monolithic Ruby Selenium suite into parallel headless runs on AWS instances, removes flaky and redundant tests, and cuts build time from four hours to ten minutes, enabling every other day releases. Describes swapping UI-heavy tests for in-memory C# integration tests, pairing testers and devs, and coaching teams away from fragile automation toward maintainable, accessible frameworks — including how the rebuild actually works and the measurable gains.
