I find that 90% of the time and effort for test automation is restructuring how a team thinks and builds so that things are even testable.

It ends up being:

  • Go to a new client.
  • They point at a codebase say "work your testing magic".
  • Realize that they lack fundamental code theory and testing methodologies.
  • Revise scope of work to no longer be testing, but to be refactoring and development.

At least that's what I've experienced :-\
