the presentation that I gave at the testnet spring event 2013 was actually done without slides, but these slides were made as a teaser for the heandout. It explains why we need to start using automated tests, and cannot postpone this any longer.

2. Note
These are introductory slides. I plan to reduce
slides to a minimum during this session. In the
session I will list trends and their
consequence, translate that to arguments that
plead for Test Automation. But I plan also to
make it a interactive session…so think along
learn from others in the group.
No doubt we will will conclude that Test
automations in inevitable…
No doubt will find good arguments why…

5. Some trends
o Agile Development: Tests are often repeated
o Economic developments: Organizations must survive
the coming years with less budget. However, to get
along much should be invested in IT.
o Shorter time-to-market, CI: Testing must be performed
faster
o Growth in complexity: Testing technical interfaces and
tooling is necessary here.
o Mobile: Different platforms and devices:
Tests are often repeated, this feeds
the Business Case for automation.
o DevOps…ultimate trust in solutions
