Ask HN: Where to start to build out QA automation

2 points by pyeek ↗ HN
Over the years I've run into one form of QA automation or another (Selenium, Ghostscript etc.) but I am having trouble finding best practices, latest tools etc as it doesn't seem to be covered as extensively or often as other topics. What is a good place to look?

Hi -

There are probably a few key-words you need to be aware of: Mike Cohn's testing pyramid, agile testing, BDD (Behaviour Driven Development), ATDD (Acceptance Test Driven Development).

Dave Haeffner has a good ten-step program on being effective with Selenium. Take a look at this recent videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zf_qsXK6YdM
