0 likes622 views
The document discusses the concept of the 'automationist’s gambit,' which involves sacrificing material in testing to achieve better results through automation and exploratory testing. It emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between automated and exploratory testing, asserting that effective automation arises from thorough exploration and vice versa. The author, Maaret Pyhäjärvi, encourages a strategic approach to testing, where knowledge and agency play critical roles in achieving impactful results.
