Ursula has recently begun automation and is trying to structure the tests in a good way using good programming principles. She has a developer background so is happy working with automation code. What Ursula struggles with is deciding what tests should be automated. She started out by just picking a few that seemed a good idea, some smoke tests that were run often. But then she decided to automate some that were easy to automate, because that made her “look good” for making progress on the automation. Now there are complaints that some of the most important parts of the application have no automation, and there is still lots of manual testing that needs to be done, even though a lot of tests have been automated. What Issue(s) is Ursula suffering from, and what Pattern(s) would be helpful to her? Use any two approaches to the wiki to try to find the answer - mind-maps or lists of Issues or Patterns or the Diagnostic.
