Kickstart Your Automation Efforts` Gaining traction on new automation efforts can be a challenge due to lack of time, no overall direction, or knowledge paralysis. Teams may stall when they're short-handed and lack training, resources, or a clear strategy. However, bringing in a developer as a temporary solution can help overcome these obstacles. With the right guidance and support, a developer can bring cross-team direction, establish common strategies, clean up stale tests, and advise on best practices across the company. This approach not only helps teams make progress on their automation goals but also proves the worth of automation to the rest of the organization. By leveraging this temporary solution, companies may be able to create new positions for QA teams or attract developers who prefer working on automation efforts.
