PR Reviewer Guide 🔍

Here are some key observations to aid the review process:

⏱️ Estimated effort to review: 2 🔵🔵⚪⚪⚪

🧪 No relevant tests

🔒 No security concerns identified

⚡ Recommended focus areas for review Date Inconsistency The blog post date is set to 2025-07-30 but the content mentions the event took place on July 30th, 2025, which is a future date from today (2025-08-04). This creates confusion about whether this is a past or future event. date: 2025-07-30 tags: ["webinar", "meetup", "talks","community"] categories: ["webinar"] author: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/musepallavi/" target="_blank">Pallavi Sharma</a> images: description: > Selenium Community Live - Episode 8 --- Episode 8 of Selenium Community Live with Dorothy Graham took place on July 30th, 2025. During this remarkable session, Graham a legend with 50+ years in software testing, shared incredible insights from her journey through the evolution of test automation. Her perspective reveals timeless truths that modern teams often overlook. Formatting Issues Several formatting inconsistencies including inconsistent bullet point styles, missing spaces after periods, and inconsistent link formatting that affect readability and professional appearance. Encouraging findings: • 80% use open-source tools. • 90% test at system level, 72% at API level • 70% had formal testing training Concerning discoveries: • 25% had zero training in their daily tools • 38% would need to rewrite 95%+ of tests when changing tools • Most automated tests mirror manual test structure (which is wrong) • Top problem isn't technical, it's unrealistic management expectations if you are interested to learn more about the survey, visit **<a href="https://automation.eurostarsoftwaretesting.com/test-automation-survey/" target="_blank">link</a>**
