From manual tester to automation guru email course

You don't need to automate everything.
You need to automate the right things.

Most automation advice starts with tools. This starts with the decision that comes before the tool: what is actually worth automating, and what happens to a suite six months later when nobody trusts it.

Five emails, one a day. Each one takes two minutes to read and ends with something you can do that afternoon. If you read all five and never buy anything from us, you should still be better at your job.

What's in it

  1. Why a bigger suite isn't a better one, and the question to ask instead
  2. Why the tool discussion is the wrong argument, and what decides it instead
  3. Why a passing test can still be badly designed
  4. What happens to a team when a red build stops meaning anything
  5. How to show what you can actually do

Who is it for

Testers a few years in who are moving toward automation, or already doing it and suspect the suite is working against them. Not a beginner's introduction, and not a tool tutorial.
