AgileWay Test Automation Formula, Part 1
Recently, a former colleague asked me for a successful test automation formula. This happened before; my default answer was to refer him to my book: "Practical Web Test Automation", and advise him to do the exercises, and then apply them to work. I believed that the success of test automation depends on many attributes: knowledge, willingness to learn and be ready to change, test frameworks/tools, management support, .. etc. More importantly, do it hands-on from Day 1, and every workday onwards. There is no silver bullet.

A Story of a Veteran Manual Tester’s Learning Test Automation from a Coach: “One Question per Day”
Bruce, an experienced manual tester in his late 50s, crossed paths with me at a large tech company. Hearing my accomplishments in test automation, he approached the head of testing practices to learn from me. Meanwhile, I was already engaged in two projects then, which raised concerns among my managers when the testing lead relayed Bruce’s proposition. So, there were some conversations among the testing lead, my project managers and Bruce. In the end, the agreement was “Bruce can only ask Zhimin for helping one test automation problem each day”.
