Build a Test Automation Framework That Never Breaks | SDET Masterclass | CI/CD & GitHub Actions
🔴 Ever changed one button in your app and watched 80% of your tests break overnight? That's not a test problem — it's a framework problem.
In this video, we break down exactly how to build a test automation framework that lasts — one that survives UI changes, scales with your team, and actually impresses interviewers.
⚙️ What You'll Learn:
✅ The difference between a test and a framework — and why it matters
✅ The 4 framework layers every SDET must know:
→ Test Layer · Page Layer · Utilities Layer · Config Layer
✅ Why putting assertions in a Page Object is a mistake
✅ How to wire your framework into a Pro CI/CD Pipeline (what interviewers actually want)
✅ Key pipeline components — GitHub Actions, caching, CI results & reporting
✅ A simple 3-Step Action Plan to get your framework live today:
1. Clone the starter repo
2. Write 5 real tests for a site you use
3. Add the project to your GitHub profile
