Do what works

• Automation success needs immediate value• The easier it is, the more success you will have• Javascript is awesome, but there tools for each

language• Some is better than none

6 Commandments of test

• Only run after passing headless• Small succinct test cases• No test case dependencies• Abstract fragile locators• Parallelize test runs to the max• Focus on the money path

Evangelism

Continuous Integration is HOT

Jenkins (commercial: cloudbees)

Travis-CI: OSS Only

Waterfall test flow, fail early

Only SMS on critical

Careful about the hours it can bug you

Incredible speed up in development
