Companies are increasingly turning to test automation to solve problems and reduce time to market for products. However, to avoid ad hoc test automation and to achieve the return on investment associated with test automation, the team should develop a test automation strategy together.

A test automation strategy defines the tools and frameworks used to create reusable, automated scripts, as well as how those scripts are created and maintained. It is most effective when understood by your entire team, as they will be responsible for implementation. Test automation can provide valuable returns on investment, such as faster time to market and more reliable, faster testing. However, it requires a lot of time and effort, and you shouldn't rush into writing automated scripts without first having a test automation strategy in place.

Your strategy should define how you will do the automation, who will write it, when you will run it, and what environments you will use. It completely defines the what, why, when, how, and where of your test automation initiative. Let's break down the what, why, when, how, and where of your test automation strategy.
