Noemí Ferrera

Noemí Ferrera is a self-taught programmer and wrote her first comprehensive program at the age of nine. When she grew up, she proceeded to achieve a degree in computer science specializing in hardware in Spain, a bachelor's degree in software engineering in Ireland, and a master's degree in computer science in Spain. She is an international speaker and participates in testing community conferences (such as Selenium, Appium, and Automation guilds) and engages with the community through Slack channels, Twitter, and her blog. In the 2020 Test Guilds publication, she was named as one of the top 28 test engineers to follow, as well as one of the top 33 test automation leaders to follow in the 2019 Tech Beacon and as one of the 100 women in tech to follow and learn from by agiletestindays in 2023.

Reviewing some techniques for test case analysis

If you were to ask different experts to categorize test cases by their priority, you would likely come across very different opinions. This task is not trivial, as having the right categorization could help us identify which test cases to automate first, or which ones to execute on our build verification tests (BVTs) so that we could promptly find the maximum number of issues and identify the most important tests cases that would cover them.

Most of the audience members I have asked throughout several conferences affirm to have more than 100 and even up to 500 test cases to explore per deployment or to automate. Handling so many test cases per deployment is currently achievable thanks to cloud parallel testing platforms (more on that will be covered in Chapter 9, Having Your Head up in the Clouds). However, these tools might charge us money per run or per the number of tests executed, and we must ensure those tests are bringing value...
