Zhimin Zhan

Zhimin combines practical teaching with tools for building and running automated tests. TestWise and BuildWise support test automation work, while books and accompanying exercises give testers and engineers concrete ways to learn. The focus on maintainable tests, regular execution and team adoption addresses problems that can prevent automated testing from providing useful feedback about software quality.

Zhimin Zhan is the founder of AgileWay in Brisbane, Australia, working as a test automation coach and author. Combining hands-on advisory work with tool development and technical writing, Zhimin helps organisations embed continuous testing using Selenium WebDriver.

Zhimin developed TestWise, an environment for writing and maintaining automated tests, alongside BuildWise, an open-source continuous-testing server. The accompanying publications include fourteen testing books, notably Practical Web Test Automation with Selenium WebDriver and the Apress Selenium WebDriver Recipes series. These guides address test readability, maintenance, cross-browser execution and team adoption, supported by sample scripts, demonstration websites and step-by-step videos.

A speaker and prolific writer with more than 600 articles across Medium and Substack, Zhimin shares practical guidance on testing and software delivery. Together, the coaching, software tools and learning resources help practitioners tackle recurring automation challenges such as fragile test suites and slow feedback.
