When automating test cases, testers face several questions:

•  How to organise the structure of a test project properly?
•  What development patterns should I use?
•  What testing tools will suit me?
•  Is BDD evil or useful?

And many others.

In my talk, I will analyse these "pains" and show how we can avoid them. Following the principles of pure architecture, we:

•  Make autotests easier to write and maintain.
•  Will be able to change the test tools easily on the fly.
•  Will configure interaction with TMS as it is convenient for us.

All examples will be given for the Java language.
