In this episode, I talk with Péter Földházi about test automation that solves real problems, not shiny tools. Péter brings two decades in quality and helped write the ISTQB automation syllabi. We ask why to automate, where it fits, and how the test pyramid guides choices across unit, API, and UI. I like how the simple pyramid makes choices visible. He shares a gaming case with 5,000 defects and a velocity drop. Strategy first, then tools, six month steps, and clear value.

Highlights:
Start with a clear reason to automate, not with tools
The test pyramid favors unit and API tests over UI tests
Strategy before tools, small steps, and measurable value
AI can assist testing, but keep a human in the loop
A 5,000 defect backlog and velocity drop signal missing test strategy
