MAIN TRACK TALK

Building for Excellence: Test Design Patterns for Sustainable Automation Systems

Let’s take a deep dive into the most effective software design patterns applied to software test automation. Test automation is crucial for ensuring quality and efficiency in the software development process. However, the implementation of automated tests can be challenging due to the complexity and variability of software systems. That is why it is important to apply software design patterns in test automation to enhance maintainability, scalability, and test efficiency. In this talk, Toni will discuss various design patterns and explore how they can be applied in test automation.

One of the biggest challenges in software automation is achieving a robust, scalable, maintainable, and efficient system. The objective of this talk is to show attendees different software design patterns applied to automated testing to improve the efficiency of tests and help address the challenge of developing a maintainable and scalable testing system.

During the talk, we will provide a detailed explanation of how we can apply SOLID principles to test development, as well as the following design patterns:

  • Page Object Pattern
  • Factory Method Pattern
  • Abstract Factory Pattern
  • Builder Pattern
  • Singleton Pattern
  • Dependency Injection

We will deep dive into each pattern during the talk and demonstrate their applicability through different examples in automated test design. With these principles and patterns, attendees will learn how to enhance their testing framework, improving both efficiency and maintainability.
