Summary
Test automation will profit from a structured approach and, for this, we introduced the test plan and test design, test patterns, and test fixture patterns. Next, we discussed how the step from requirements to their implementation could be made efficient and effective, including related test automation. This was done by shaping the requirement specifications as a test plan and getting your team facing the same direction.
Now, in the next chapter, Chapter 6, we will utilize these patterns to implement test code. You might have been waiting long, but we do finally get into coding automated tests.
