Automation Best Practices

  • • Test automation scripts thoroughly before deployment
  • • Use version control to track automation script changes
  • • Set up proper error handling and logging
  • • Monitor automation results regularly
  • • Keep backup copies of original files
  • • Use rate limiting to avoid API quota issues
