21. Best practices to run tests faster on cloud
2016 21
• Practice modular based testing
• Run Atomic test
• Data driven testing
• Run tests in parallel
• Use POM(Page object model)

22. Summary
• Automating more vs managing more
• Less coding more results
• Speeding up automation development
• Better user control and debugging
