Synopsis

This is a story - based on real patterns of behaviour we have observed - about a software test automator and her struggles to implement good automation in her company.Our aim in this book is to show you how you can use the test automation patterns wiki to help with various test automation problems, by showing how our heroine, Liz, copes with many of them.This book started as a way to explain how the patterns in the wiki TestAutomationPatterns.org could be used in realistic situations, warts and all. Things are never as straight-forward as we hope, and this book shows a number of things that go wrong, as well as many things that go well.In this book you will encounter the Hamburger model of test automation abstraction, as well as the Dessert model of object selection. You will get to know Liz, her hobbies, her friends, her unrequited love… In short, yes, this is a story, but we hope it will help make the patterns “come alive”!
