MetaAutomation: Quality Automation for Faster and More Trustworthy Software Development

MetaAutomation describes how to do quality automation to ship software faster and at higher quality, with unprecedented detail from the system under test for better communications about quality and happier teams.

This book defines the quality automation problem space to describe every automated process from driving the software product for quality measurements, to delivering that information to the people and processes of the business. The team needs this to think beyond what the QA team or role can do alone, to what it can do for the broader team. Quality automation is part of the answer to all that is broken with “test automation.”

MetaAutomation is a pattern language that describes how to implement the quality automation problem space with an emphasis on delivering higher-quality, more trustworthy software faster. Much it depends on a radical, yet inevitable change: storing and reporting all the information from driving and measuring the software product, in a structured format that is both human-readable and highly suitable to automation. This change was not possible before the technology made available by this book.

Read this book to discover how to stop pouring business value on the floor with conventional automation practices, and start shipping software faster and at higher quality, with better communication and happier teams.
