Test automation is meant to speed up development but certain pitfalls can slow down the process.
Common automation pitfalls include flaky test environment setup, email verification dependencies, external API rate limiting, inefficient test data management, and inadequate parallel execution.
Implementing a dedicated testing mailbox system can help overcome email verification dependencies and boost efficiency.
For significant efficiency gains, switching to a dedicated email testing service can eliminate manual tasks, automate verification code extraction, ensure reliable email delivery, and scale tests effectively.
