summary

Describes five common test-automation failure modes and concrete fixes, naming mistakes like forming a separate automation team that removes shared responsibility, automation engineers owning triage while developers ignore failures, having no test strategy or measurable targets, and building a custom framework before any tests exist. For each mistake the talk explains what breaks (time loss, heavier triage, flaky suites), what to change, and estimates the money wasted.
