Spotlight ?: ATOM Model – Advanced Testing Optimization Maturity Model

I'm excited to share insights about a project close to my heart - the 'ATOM Model – Advanced Testing Optimization Maturity Model'. ????This model-methodology is a culmination of years of work, aimed at revolutionizing how organizations assess and enhance their automated testing processes. ????? At our company, we've been implementing the ATOM Model successfully in various client projects, refining and validating its effectiveness. I believe this model could be a game-changer in the QA field and am eager to hear your feedback. ?? While I've considered a condensed version, I feel it might lose its essence. Instead, I'm planning to expand on this in future books and discuss it at major conferences this year. ????

The next video from the series about Decorator Design Pattern. ??????

In software engineering, the Decorator design pattern is a powerful tool for extending functionality without modifying the original object. This pattern is particularly effective when used in conjunction with the Adapter pattern in automated testing. The Adapter pattern already allows us to change the interface of an object like IWebDriver and IWebElement to suit our needs. The Decorator pattern takes this a step further by wrapping the Adapter, providing a flexible way to add new behaviors and functionalities. For instance, while an Adapter might provide basic custom methods to an IWebDriver, a Decorator could dynamically add enhanced features such as detailed logging, highlighting, toast messages and scroll into view. By using the Decorator pattern, we can create a highly customizable and extendable testing framework, making our automated tests more powerful, adaptable, and easier to maintain. ???
