Use tools which provide a resultant benefit – Need of the hour for automation folks
After every few months a new shiny tool comes along demanding our attention
In a frenzy of not to be left behind in the ‘next big thing’ everyone rushes to it Cucumber (used just for automation only) is a good case in point
Cal Newport in Deep Work suggests weighing benefits vs cost for using social media tools
Use the tool only if the benefit outweighs Identify the main goal and key few activities that support this goal
How beneficial is this tool towards that?
Now apply this to automation, will using cucumber just within the automation team generate a resultant benefit
I have a strong feeling it will not
Take Away: Stop running towards implementing the next shiny thing, unless it supports your project objectives
