Changing Tyres In A Moving Car-Making Functional Test Automation Effective - Anand Bagmar

Are ALL of the below statements true regarding your functional automated tests?

As a result of your functional automation, manual testing efforts are reduced.
Automated tests run fast.
Automated tests are triggered automatically on any product change.
The automated test execution needs no manual intervention to run/complete successfully.
Your automated functional tests give you deterministic feedback - i.e. no flaky/intermittent test failures.
The automated test code is clean and easy to maintain, reuse and scale.
Your automated tests can run in any order, and in parallel.

If you have answered yes to all the above statements, you would be in the very small percentage of teams doing functional automation right!
In my experience, I have seen teams struggle with more than one, and in many cases, all of the above statements. 
On retrospection, I have realized, that most of these challenges are because of a combination of the following issues:

Lack of time for design, implementation, and maintenance of the automated test code
Lack of holistic vision, understanding, skills, and capabilities for taking on this seemingly easy activity of functional test automation

In this session, I will share, with examples, the features & capabilities that are not used right in Test Automation implementation resulting in you answering “NO” to the above statements. These are anti-patterns of functional automation implementation. More importantly, I will share approaches and solutions of how you can avoid these anti-patterns and evolve to answer “YES” to each of the above statements.
