Some difficulties make automation even less efficient than manual testing unless properly handled. With a lot of people complaining about broken or flaky tests, they are unhappy to spend all their time fixing test failures and not having time for new implementations. In this talk, I have collected my personal experiences focused on the challenges of test automation in global projects. I will share numerous real-life examples causing trouble in terms of testing and ways to cope with them. We will discuss ways to avoid broken tests after updated page layouts on the web apps that we are testing, to minimize the number of flaky tests, to automate scenarios where there is a hardware dependency, and to make implementation easier.
