Stop chasing shiny tools. Build test automation that works Free e-book: The 7 success factors of software testing. 25 years of project experience in one 33-page workbook, now also in English Get it for free "I'm tool agnostic. I don't care what the tool is." - Péter Földházi In this episode, I talk with Péter Földházi about test automation that solves real problems, not shiny tools. Péter brings two decades in quality and helped write the ISTQB automation syllabi. We ask why to automate, where it fits, and how the test pyramid guides choices across unit, API, and UI. I like how the simple pyramid makes choices visible. He shares a gaming case with 5,000 defects and a velocity drop. Strategy first, then tools, six month steps, and clear value. Péter was first involved with QA as a beta tester of DOTA in 2006. Since joining EPAM in 2012, he moved towards test automation, and is currently working in the USA as a Quality Architect. He is leading Game Testing Consulting and GenAI Adoption programs in the Americas. Péter has authored two ISTQB syllabi: Test Automation Engineering & Test Automation Strategy.
