To make life a little easier, listed below are 10 tips to increase automation test coverage
A Quality Analyst (QA) like myself would probably have faced one or more of the hurdles that I have articulated below:
1. Long running projects with extreme delivery pressures, multiple services and huge data involvements
2. An application’s code whose initial functionalities have been developed by the client and have less test coverage than you are accustomed to
3. Legacy applications that are not unit testable and applications whose entire logic lies in database queries
To make life a little easier, listed below are 10 tips to increase automation test coverage. These ideas are easy to incorporate, will improve test automation coverage and will reduce manual testing effort. They should also enhance the efficiency of a continuous delivery practice.
1. Introduce a new ‘To Be Automated’ lane, after ‘In Testing’ on the iteration wall. This will ensure all story cards have automation tests written before they are moved to the ‘Done’ section.

As counter-intuitive as it may sound- Is automation a stupid loud colour to wear that attracts predators because of bigger attack surfaces or is it strangely-aposematic enough to tell the bad actors - stay away? Specially when security is baked in and bold- and ready for any camouflage? And what happens when Quantum and third-party supply chains make their way into industrial forests? We may not have all the answers but how about a purple-team approach to begin with.

AI is not Valyrian. It's the new English.
While it may still be too early for people to say 'Avy jorrāelan' to a technology that is affecting their jobs in more ways than one, it is better if we face our fears with clarity, caution and confidence. How does that advice play out in a function that, itself, decides who works and where?
