16. If Release N is the first release of a program that you are automating, then your primary goal in Release N may be to provide scaffolding for automation to be written in Release N+1. Your secondary goal would be light but targeted testing in N. (Consensus)
如果发行版N是你使程序自动化后的第一个发行版，那么你的发行版N的首要目标就是要为发行版N+1中的自动化编写提供支持。而你的次要目标就是轻量而有目的的测试发行版N。(一致同意)
17. People need to focus on automation not to do it as an on-the-side task. If no one is dedicated to the task then the automation effort is probably going to be a waste of time. (Consensus)
人们需要重视自动化，而不是把它视为无关紧要的任务。如果没有人专门从事这项任务，那么自动化工作将是浪费时间。(一致同意)
18. Many testers are junior programmers who don't know how to architect or create well designed frameworks. (Consensus)
很多测试人员是初级程序员，他们并不知道怎样构架和创建设计良好的框架。(一致同意)
Data-driven approach
数据驱动方法
The data-driven approach was described in the main paper. I think that it’s safe to say that we all like data-driven approaches, but that none of us would use a data-driven approach in every conceivable situation. Here are a few additional, specific notes from the meeting.
数据驱动方法在主体部分已经论述过了。我相信我们都喜欢数据驱动方法，但是我们中没有一个人能在每一种可能的情况下都使用数据驱动方法。下面是会议中提出的一些具体的额外事宜。
19. The subject matter (the data) of a data-driven automation strategy might include (for example):
数据驱动自动化策略的主旨(数据)可以包括以下几个方面：
parameters that you can input to the program; 输入程序的参数
sequences of operations or commands that you make the program execute; 程序执行的操作或命令序列
sequences of test cases that you drive the program through; 驱动程序的测试用例序列
sequences of machine states that you drive the program through; 驱动程序的状态机序列
documents that you have the program read and operate on; 程序读取和操作的文档
parameters or events that are specified by a model of the system (such as a state model or a cause-effect-graph based model) (Consensus). 系统模型(例如状态模型或因果图模型)指定的参数或事件。(一致同意)
