Key Takeaway
Test automation is more than just selecting a tool. Many self-implemented automation projects stall out simply because not enough time and energy is spent setting up and adopting the surrounding processes. As this post suggests, start small… and that is in relation to all aspects of adapting test automation. Also, make sure to set aside time to scale your processes as well as your tools.
