★ QA engineer evolution
★ Separation of concerns
★ Who is SDET?
Hi, I am a QA! Who I become in 8-10 years?
Developer? Scrum Master? Business Analyst?
There has always been a wall
Bringing QA inside a team has not removed it
Once requirements are clear ...
5th sprint ...
I heard Selenium is great
Do it
Why Selenium is popular?
11th sprint ...
Rely on our tests!They are … not stable
Why??!!
40 % of tests are now outdated
We have to test them manually again
This is moment Selenium stops being popular
Test automation is like a drugs good habit
An application is not a black box anymore
User Interface is not the only API
And Selenium is not the only way of testing :)
Tests can use the closest Interface
Test Pyramid follows that principle
Working with Developer
You are not a developer!
Think twice before changing production code
Responsibility Line
SDET
Developer
Do you want others trust on your tests?
Get involved into pair programming
Keep test and production code in one branch
Review pull requests
Try to understand the code and especially tests
Do not hesitate adding your comments to code
Code never lies
Separation of concerns
