Enterprise Test Automation: Building Resilient Tests That Survive Change
HPE, Wednesday, September 9th, 2026
Designing automated tests that survive application change instead of becoming maintenance debt.
This guide covers building automated tests that remain useful as applications change, rather than becoming a maintenance burden that teams eventually abandon.
The failure pattern it addresses is familiar: test suites coupled tightly to UI structure or implementation detail break on every refactor, so the team disables them and loses coverage entirely. The recommended approaches centre on testing behavior rather than structure.
The topic has gained urgency as AI-generated code increases change volume faster than test maintenance capacity grows.
