Our automated journey worked!
Six very short months ago, we did not have any automation around big chunks of our product, specifically Salesforce. We set out with a plan to change that! We learned a lot along the way, changed our plans a few times, took drastic measures at others, developed a style guide, changed our development process/culture, and now, we are running a full automated regression suite with every pull request. And if our suite fails, there is no workaround. Everyone stops to understand what caused the fail and fix it. This has been a huge change in thinking for everyone, not just QA. Product has to understand our step and that they may not get their feature on their pace. Developers had to tighten up their code so it doesn't immediately fail the first round of testing. And Managers had to step in and help everyone understand the value of this new process. I cannot be more proud of the work we've done or how my team has stepped up! I want to share this so that others can start making a plan to automate their tests and improve quality in their products!
