Inactive  Lessonly's Ability: unused test automation

The test strategy pyramid:

* = Manual | user acceptance testing
** = Manual | exploratory testing
*** = End-to-End | Smoke screen automation (browser-based testing in production)
**** = End-to-End | CI; Browser-based
***** = End-to-End | CI; Headless & API
****** = Integration | CI; Contract tests (consumer/provider of services)
******* = Integration | CI; External-service
******** = Integration | CI; Controller-level aka DB-integration
********* = Unit | CI; UI tests
********** = Unit | CI; Backend/functionality tests

The goal of testing is not 100% code coverage, but the appropriate amount of effort to ensure the least amount of value disruption for our clients and greater viability from the perspective of our client-facing teams (fewer "value-impeding" bugs = better experience for everyone).

This ability is influenced by this article on the testing pyramid.

I have observed this person showing a consistent, comfortable, continuous, and clear positive impact to a squad when wielding this ability, and therefore I would put them in situations where they can employ this ability with only a small amount of guidance

I have observed this person showing a consistent, comfortable, continuous, and clear positive impact to a squad when wielding this ability, and therefore I would put them in situations where they can employ this ability, with no assistance as well as being a trusted active or passive mentor to others

I have observed this person showing a consistent, comfortable, continuous, and clear positive impact to multiple squads when wielding this ability, and therefore I would put them in situations where they can employ this ability as well as being considered an expert within this discipline

I have observed this person showing a consistent, comfortable, continuous, and clear positive impact to a squad when wielding this ability, and therefore I would put them in situations where they can not only employ this ability but where they set the tone for this at the company level

I have observed this person showing a consistent, comfortable, continuous, and clear positive impact to not just internal teams but the community/industry in general when wielding this ability, and they are recognized by the community/industry as an expert
