How to integrate automation in an agile environment?

Automation is done in the sprints- Part of Grooming- Made into a story and given points- Definition of Ready- Definition of Done

Who is responsible for automation

The team as a whole is responsible to deliver the committed

delivery in time and with the defined quality. A good result or a failure is never attributed to a single team member but always the result of the team. This is also valid for the techniques used like Test Automation.

Individuals within the team will most certainly have specialized skills and focus. However to achieve best possible performance it would be optimal to have a balanced set of skills. Only then the team will be able to deal with the ever-changing challenges and can act as autonomous as it is possible.

On one hand this means that a team should be multidisciplinary (developers, tester, architects etc.) right from the beginning. On the other hand this also means that each team member should learn a little bit of each other's specialization, e.g. a if required to finally reach the committed goal a developer should also perform or write tests and use Test Automation as early as possible so time is won on making the regression test for after the sprint.
