The goal was to introduce them to [software testing](https://www.nfocus.co.uk/software-testing/), explain what we do daily, and give them a hands-on experience with an exercise that simulated real-life testing scenarios. The main theme of our presentation was to show them what an SDET does, how we work with clients to help improve software quality, and what a career as an [SDET](https://www.nfocus.co.uk/software-testing/software-testing-academy/) looks like. We wanted to demonstrate that the tech industry is accessible to anyone, regardless of their educational background or experience.

To set the context, for nearly two decades I have been working for nFocus as a consultant that specialises in technical testing. A large part of that role is writing automated tests, including UI automation which can be particularly difficult (to do well). Essentially, I program a robot to perform the actions of users to produce an efficient and repeatable method of test execution. I’ve worked on everything from writing [automated tests](https://www.nfocus.co.uk/software-testing/mobile-application-testing-services/) for scientific instruments, [mobile test automation](https://www.nfocus.co.uk/software-testing/mobile-application-testing-services/) from its infancy through to many other systems I’m not at liberty to disclose. 😉 [Read More](https://blog.nfocus.co.uk/copilot-x) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.nfocus.co.uk/copilot-x#comments-listing) Topics: [Software Testing](https://blog.nfocus.co.uk/topic/software-testing), [SDET](https://blog.nfocus.co.uk/topic/sdet), [Artificial Intelligence](https://blog.nfocus.co.uk/topic/artificial-intelligence) ## [Brittle Test Software​: Reducing Test Brittleness in Automated Tests](https://blog.nfocus.co.uk/brittle-test-software) Posted by [Peter Deng](https://blog.nfocus.co.uk/author/peter-deng) on 26/11/2024 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![Laptop with broken screen](https://blog.nfocus.co.uk/hubfs/undefined-Oct-20-2024-08-37-05-3608-PM.jpeg)](https://blog.nfocus.co.uk/brittle-test-software) # **Synopsis** This will be a comprehensive guide to helping you minimise the frequency of maintenance when it comes to your automated test scripts. This should also be useful for those familiar with writing automated testing code. Change management affects how we maintain our tests. In the context of manual testing, it's updating test cases, test steps, and expected results (also test suites). However, for [automated tests](https://www.nfocus.co.uk/software-testing/test-automation-solutions/), this is in the form of updating code or updating data. This repeats every cycle and varies in size; the number of changes needed therefore should be both minimised and clear. I must add that I’m only a [junior SDET](https://www.nfocus.co.uk/software-testing/software-testing-academy/) and that much of this knowledge is work-in-progress for me; these are my experiences and opinions.
