Learning and improving by taking small steps

You get to master test automation one step at a time. Learn and improve by doing the following:

• Choose one of the when-to-use-automated-testing options as discussed in Chapter 1, Introduction to Automated Testing, that fits you and your team best, and/or gives the best return on investment, to start mastering test automation.
• Start casting the customer wish into the scenarios that come to mind. Try to keep it simple. Preferably, you would like to get full coverage right away, but as it is a team effort, chances are high that holes will be identified before implementation starts. And if they will not be seen, chances are even bigger that you will hit upon these holes when starting to implement the code.
• Make use of my 4-steps recipe (create, embed, write, and construct) for the conception of the test code. Let the ATDD.TestScriptor module and/or extension make this work even more efficient.
• Get the test(s) run with every...
