The Test Automation Blueprint: A Case Study
summary
A case study of a transportation company shows a practical roadmap: a monthslong proof of concept, two years to build a foundation, then organization-wide scaling across roughly 80 applications. Results include shifting from Selenium C# to Playwright and Appium, adding BrowserStack and UiPath, merging repos into unified CI/CD, and dashboards in Microsoft BI. Historical anecdote cites a 3‑week manual lab run cut to 3 days with automation. Metrics-driven reporting and risk-based selection drive what gets automated next.
