Welcome to the TestGuild Automation Podcast! Today, we explore the synergy between manual and automation testing with expert Javier CEO of Crowdar, and Founder of Lippia.io. We discuss understanding manual processes before automating and ensuring both testing methods align for consistent functionality. Javier also introduces an open-source framework for Gherkin tests on APIs, emphasizing Gherkin's role in behavior-driven development (BDD).
We touch on the importance of syncing manual and automated changes and dive into Lippia, a platform-enhancing test management system. Javier shares the benefits of integrating both manual and automation testing on one platform, using a Cucumber implementation for unified efforts.
Javier highlights the broader role of Gherkin, involving not just testers but also product owners and developers. Tune in for insights on harmonizing your testing for better efficiency and quality with Javier. Listen up!
