What to Automate First

Start with high-risk, repeatable journeys that have clear expected outcomes and meaningful business value.

How to Reduce Flakes

Most flaky tests are system feedback. Better waits, data isolation, service contracts, and observability reduce noise at the source.

How to Read Coverage

Coverage is most useful when it explains risk, confidence, and blind spots rather than pretending every line has equal value.
