How did you approach the selection of test automation in your last project?

The choice of test automation in a project usually begins with analyzing requirements and product features. It is important to identify which parts of the application are most critical and frequently changing — these should be covered by automated tests.

Main steps:

• Assessing functionality stability: for frequently changing modules, it is better to use unit tests.
• Choosing test types: unit tests for logic, integration tests for component interaction, UI tests for the user interface.
• Determining tools: based on the project's technologies and team (e.g., Selenium for web, Appium for mobile).
• Prioritizing scenarios: automate the most important and repetitive checks first.
• Considering support and scalability: select frameworks with good documentation and community.

This approach helps to efficiently allocate efforts and maximize the benefits of automation.
