I have two questions:

  1. for someone just starting out with test automation, could you provide a specific example of a quick win or a simple task they can successfully automate early in their journey?
    how can achieving this help build confidence and set a strong foundation for more advanced automation projects?

.

  1. beginners often struggle with setting realistic goals when starting with test automation, which can lead to frustration or burnout.
    could you discuss some of the most common mistakes that beginners make in this process, such as overestimating what can be automated or focusing on the wrong priorities?
    additionally, what practical strategies or tips would you suggest to help them avoid these pitfalls and maintain both motivation and consistency in their automation journey?

thanks!
