Stuck in Detention: How Repetitive Tasks Punish Adults

Elissa Tahech

13:45 - 14:30 CEST Thursday 5th June

Back in school, repetitive actions, like writing the same sentence a 100 times, were used as punishments for misbehavior. Today, we encounter similar repetitive actions in the workplace, often labeled as “tasks.” But one may ask, what’s the educational benefit you get from these kind of tasks, like manually filling data in an Excel sheet: Nothing! Yet, these tasks need to be done, and this time, I was designated to do it.

I was responsible for launching our automatic tests, then collecting and reporting memory issues. This required manually reviewing over 400 files, gathering all the issues, filtering out repetitions, and assigning each to the responsible developer. I realized there had to be a more efficient way. Let’s automate it!

For that reason, I developed a Python script to collect, filter, and report all the issues. Through this presentation, you will learn how to build similar automation in your own team to eliminate repetitive tasks and enhance productivity. What began as a mean to avoid monotonous work evolved into an optimized process that reduced a two-week manual task to a single click. By implementing this kind of automation, you can improve feedback loops and make the analysis process faster and more efficient for both testers and developers.

But that wasn’t the end of the story! We integrated AI into the code to enhance the script’s capabilities. You will see how AI elevated the automation by broadening the scope of issues caught through more accurate detections, and how it also automated the reporting of test cases. By the end of the presentation, you’ll understand how AI can take your automated processes to the next level, leading to higher-quality results for your team.

In my presentation, I will share with you:

  • How to turn an idea into an automated tool using coding, and how to apply it in your team to eliminate repetitive tasks.
  • Understand the positive impact automation had on both testers and developers, ultimately improving the product quality.
  • Discover AI’s ability to upscale automation and how to think differently considering the power of AI.

Murex, Lebanon

I graduated in July 2023 with a bachelor’s in mechanical engineering and have been working at Murex in the Market Analytics team since then. With limited coding experience, I quickly learned Python to automate manual testing processes and developed a tool that significantly improved our team’s efficiency.

My journey from novice to automation advocate taught me the importance of fully understanding each process, thinking creatively, and looking at problems from new perspectives. I aim to inspire others to embrace AI and automation, showing that if you can think of an idea, you can create it.
