100 Conflicts, Resolutions & Steps — Mobile & Web Test Automation
100 real-world conflicts across mobile and web test automation, each paired with a resolution and concrete implementation steps — flaky tests from animations, device/state isolation, deep link and push notification testing, Appium/driver version management, parallel execution and device-farm scaling, CAPTCHA/MFA/OTP blockers, headless vs headed mismatches, tool trade-offs (open-source vs paid, AI self-healing locators, codeless tools), and team/process conflicts like QA being blamed for slow releases, siloed automation engineers, and device-lab vs cloud budget decisions.
Every one of these 100 conflicts is something I've actually hit, or a teammate has — not hypothetical scenarios written to fill a page count. Flaky tests from animations and device or state isolation are the two I'd flag as underrated; most automation guides skip them because they're messy problems, not clean textbook ones. The team and process conflicts near the end — QA getting blamed for slow releases, siloed automation engineers — are worth reading even if you're not the one writing the automation.
