How test automation scales without ending up in maintenance hell
Test automation is now standard practice in modern software development. Nevertheless, many teams experience the opposite of agility: historically grown UI suites slow down pipelines, faulty builds create distrust, and maintenance increasingly consumes resources.
In his technical article, Serge Baumberger shows why this problem is rarely due to the tool used – but usually to the architecture of the entire automation system.
The article highlights, among other things:
- Sustainable scaling of test automation
- stable and maintainable test architectures
- meaningful CI/CD gates
- Ownership and test signal quality
- the connection to the Quality Tree Framework
Instead of viewing automation as a collection of individual scripts, the article shows how stable and scalable quality can be achieved in the long term.
