By Maksym Barvinskyi at Automation in Action: summer conference. Video: https://youtu.be/YoIJ8AcS9Og TOPIC DESCRIPTION In this talk we are going to meet a powerful tool – Gradle plugins – and explore what kinds of problems they can solve in Test Automation. These could be additional quality gates for an automation framework build, or automatic code generation of SUT API endpoints and entities that could be used in tests, or other areas depending on your needs. We will create a couple of plugins right there during the talk and discuss their benefits and drawbacks when compared to other options. By the end, you are going to have one more tool in your Test Automation toolset, and be better prepared for solving different kinds of automation problems in your current and future projects.
