Reaching Your Automatic Testing Goals by Enhancing Your Test Architecture
If you have automatic end-to-end tests, you have test architecture, even if you’ve never given it a thought. Test architecture encompasses everything from code to more theoretical concerns like enterprise architecture, but with concrete, immediate consequences. Let's explore how you can achieve the goals you have for your automatic testing effort.

Architectural Intelligence – the Next AI
Architectural Intelligence is the ability to look beyond AI hype and identify real AI components. Determining how, where, and when to use AI elements comes down to traditional trade-off analysis. Like any technology, AI can be used creatively, but inappropriately. Identify if AI makes sense for your use case, then work to use it effectively to meet your needs.
