Part-time automation...

Is it possible to have succes in automation without have at least one dedicated, full-time resource?

In most cases no, but in my case yes...

I probably spend 30% of my time in automation and the rest for sapient testing (see James Bach Blog). Of course during some periods the automation efforts have to be higher (during implementation, creating a framework among other things) but once settled (if you have a good framework) a relative small effort in maintanance, running tests and creating new tests could still be worth while...

In my case this is possible due to the following:

  • Previous experience in automation
  • An automation-friendly AUT (framework-based prefereble)

More about my automation framework later on...
