Editor's Notes
- Emphasise that these steps are merely a guideline. Sometime they might have to be adapted as per the circumstances.
- The final category is refers to those who know about automation and know of its benefits but are too cheap to invest. The nay-sayers; they will always say, “NO”
- Sometimes convincing a client will have to take place after developing a POC.
- In the case of having to develop a PoC before convincing the client, this might be someone who could “consult” on the PoC; such as a member of the automation drive or an intern even.
- Look at the available tools See which ones support the product’s technology stack Paid vs Free: sometimes a paid tool is a necessity
