Automation frameworks are becoming more powerful, scalable, and AI-assisted. But, even today, the same types of failures continue to appear across teams: flaky tests, slow pipelines, unstable locators, and brittle architecture.
These issues rarely come from the tools themselves. Usually, they come from using specific anti-patterns that repeat again and again across projects.
Because automation is not just about writing tests — it’s about writing good tests, designing test architecture, thinking about maintainability, and making long-term decisions. Unfortunately, some QAs still fall into dangerous habits that slowly destroy the reliability of their framework.
Let’s go through the most damaging automation anti-patterns, understand why they happen, what they cause, and how to fix them.
