Testers and Automation: Avoiding the Traps with James Bach (USA)

Published: June 16, 2025 by Aly Curry

Date: June 16, 2025 - June 18, 2025

Location: Online (Pacific Time)

“Test Automation” is a hot topic. If you are in the testing field, then you are being pressured to automate your work. But how should you go about it? There are lots of expensive tools you could use, but there are also free tools. Only certain specific aspects of testing can be automated, so which aspects should you focus on first? Which should you NOT focus on? How can AI help?

This class will help you whether or not you write code. We don’t cover how to code or how to operate any specific tool. Instead, this class is about automation strategy. It’s about vision and setting goals that make sense.

Creating useful automation to support testing is a huge challenge. This class is designed to help you meet that challenge using the Rapid Software Testing methodology. We will show you creative uses of inexpensive tools, and will teach how different kinds of automation can help you or hurt you. We will show you how to analyze vendor claims critically. We will help you make a sensible automation strategy.

This class is not affiliated with any tool vendor. We may demonstrate or mention particular tools during the class, but we have not accepted and will not accept any payment or benefit from commercial interests. (We may be biased, but we have not been bribed.)

This is an online class over three days (three 90-minute webinars per day). Starting Time 9am Pacific Time, 6pm Central European Time.

09:00 - 10:30 Webinar
10:30 - 11:00 Break
11:00 - 12:30 Webinar
12:30 - 01:00 Break
