summary

Team moves a legacy manual QA setup to SpecFlow + Selenium WebDriver on C# with TFS CI, TestRail and nightly builds, then eliminates flakiness by separating flaky tests into a quarantine suite and fixing them until they pass ~20 consecutive runs before rejoining the main suite. Tests use DB restores or REST calls instead of unnecessary Selenium navigation, direct URLs and independent small tests to reduce dependencies. Practices include strict code-review standards, README/docs, wallboards for visibility, metrics (coverage and pre/post‑release defect ratios) and train manual testers with TinyGherkin to expand automation. Keep the build green as the core goal.
