Yes, I along with my team members have helped my company come from zero automation to decent coverage with UI tests. We have tests that run reliably for Web, iOS and Android.

It has certainly improved our deployment time.

If you describe some of the your problems. I can tell you how we overcome them.

Thanks for the response. I have several questions.

What is the division of labor between developers who work on the tests and (perhaps non-coding) QA analysts?

What software are you using?

How large is the application, and would you mind describing the nature of the application?

Do you have any clear cost metrics on the effects of automation testing? E.g., are you able to operate with a smaller QA team, measurably lower incidence of bugs discovered in production, etc.?

Thanks again.
