The Next Level of Test Automation (NEXTA 2020)

Test automation has been an acknowledged software engineering best practice for years. However, the topic involves more than the repeated execution of test cases that often comes first to mind.

Now test automation needs to rise to the next level by going beyond mere test execution.
