"Share of Experience : Test Automation"
summary
Early-career automation work uses Robot Framework to automate alarm-trap tests and shows concrete fixes: flaky tests come from a fixed sleep timeout that sometimes misses traps and from a common configuration variable that is not reverted, causing downstream suite failures. Debugging relies on Robot Framework log files; fixes are tuning the wait value and reset shared variables at suite end. Lessons: avoid automating everything, prefer reusable keywords, and enforce code review and pre-integration runs.
