Its very hard initially to digest implementing agile to test automation as it is not treditionl approach. One should know how to bring a hug product backlog to small chunks. This is the problem definition for agile. identify right way of implementing the best practices of agile. Have multiple reviews initially would help tremendously. these reviews should be with the guidelines maker rather than breakers :) see me if you have any problems in adopting test automation using agile..

see me if you have any problems in adopting test automation using agile..

I've been struggling with the transition to agile and the expectation that I am to automate tests, when I am not an automation engineer. I actually solved it by pairing up with an exceptional toolsmith who is taking basic Selenium recorded scripts (mainly recorded whilst I am doing my exploratory testing) and bundling the successful and 'repeatable' (for the expected regression) in with the development CI nightly build. The results are then put in to a DB and a dynamic web page is spun up so I can drill through all of the results. Metrics are produced off the top. In essence this is what you are recommending and I thank you for putting some text around a theory I've been struggling to quantify. It works a treat and means I can spend much more time exploring the software and finding potential bugs. Cheers Rob Hi James,

Me also following here this agile test automtion technique and we are highly
benefiting by getting the testers involved to know what they want and to
see things working in short time span,and basically keeping this pace ,parallely
we also have the massive automation developed,in small phases using agile test automation.After more than a year of automation,we had finally started to see success in keyword driven automation for the embedded automation which was once a night mare.I would like to join you in your research in this area if you do not mind.
