Masterclass: Strategies to make your automated checks reliable and robust with Peter Bartlett

"Learn how to write automated checks in a way that is fast, reliable, maintainable and becomes a crucial part of your continuous delivery pipeline.

"The advantages of automated checks are well known, they save testers working through mundane, manual test cases over and over again to check for regressions. Unfortunately, their disadvantages are also well known, being prone to unreliable results and a high cost of maintainability. Peter will show you how to overcome the pains associated with writing and running automated checks and turn them into an integral part of your continuous delivery pipeline".
