Thank you for attending my keynote (in person) or watching the live tweets! And thank you @AgileTD for welcoming me to speak about #ReimaginingAutomation! 16/15
Please let me know what y'all think in the thread below. 👇
Looking back from 2033, we reimagined automation for both testing and collaboration. We needed both together to advance.
Standing in 2023, the future is open! Let's build tools that enable us to be more creative and more effective.

All these autonomous tools upended software dev. Scrum is dead, Waterfall is kinda back, and Kanban is king.
Regardless of process, most teams recognized a common flow: Discovery ➡️ Formulation➡️ Automation. The #BDD folks had it right.

All these team collab tools culminated in daily digests, in which each team member receives a tailored report on team activity every morning.
This killed standup meetings. One's status is gleaned from their activities and contributions.

Better production tech also enabled teams to record very nice demos asynchronously. Engineers would make them when finishing work items and share them immediately for review. This helped distributed teams build up their knowledge base.

By 2033, autonomous tools could handle assertions as well as automation. Recommendation systems for quality became very accurate. They needed less human intervention. Even big enterprises started using them.

By the late 2020s, autonomous tools could not only generate tests but also run them.
Devs starting using replay: they'd make a change, and the automation would find, record, and replay the actual change in the app. Devs could then 👍 or👎.

Things got better in the 2020s. Tool makers focused on better testing experience. Open source tools like Cypress and Playwright became mainstays. Companies built all-in-one platforms. Devs even started doing more testing.

By the 2010s, Agile took over, and tests became part of CI. We figured out better ways to automate tests, too: make them short and reliable, not grand tours.
CI maxed automation's value, but things became complicated. Some couldn't keep up.

By the 2000s, testers started combining test frameworks with black box tools like Selenium. A new role appeared: the automation engineer. Things were rough at first.

With the Object-Oriented fervor of the 1990s came the advent of unit testing. First SUnit, then JUnit, and then a proliferation of xUnit-style frameworks. This was the first big wave of test automation.
@AgileTD #ReimaginingAutomation 3/15
Software testing became its own discipline starting in the late 1970s with the separation of "testing" from "debugging."
Up through the 90s, all testing was done manually.

Guten Morgen! Today, I'm keynoting @AgileTD in Potsdam, Germany! My talk is entitled #ReimaginingAutomation.
I'm autonomously tweeting my slides while speaking. Get ready to learn about how we can build a better future if we rethink what automation can and should do! 1/15
