    31 Days of Testing—Day 11: Maintainable Functional Automation

    NOTE: I’m running a series called “31 Days of Testing” on my personal blog at FrazzledDad.com.

    Organize Your Tests, Part II: Use Metadata!

    In my last post I talked about some ways to organize your tests to help keep things clear and discoverable. My pal Adam Goucher, one of the top Selenium folks around, took me to task me via mail (in a friendly way!) that tags and metadata are a critical part of organizing your tests. I agree, but with a subtle difference.
