Applications and systems have grown ever larger and more complex, and manual testing simply cannot keep up. As technology changes, and more organizations move into agile development, testing must adapt—and quickly. Test automation is essential, but poor automation is wasteful—how do you know where your efforts will take you?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAuthors Dorothy Graham and Mark Fewster wrote the field’s seminal text, \u003ci\u003eSoftware Test Automation,\u003c\/i\u003e which has guided many organizations toward success.
