In-sprint automation, or N-1 sprint automation, involves writing and executing automated tests during the same sprint as the feature or user story is being developed. This approach integrates quality assurance (QA) as a parallel process, allowing teams to ensure that automated tests are created and run before the sprint is completed. In-Sprint automation can support Agile’s primary objective, faster delivery, by integrating automated tests early and reducing the risk of last-minute bugs. However, the N.1 approach allows teams to focus solely on completing user stories within the sprint, reducing unplanned delays caused by integrating automation efforts. The in-sprints approach requires significant upfront investment in well-established automation frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and stable test environments. The N-Sprints approach also offers benefits, including improved Automation Stability and learning and adaptation to address potential issues during manual testing.
