Experienced dev working on automated E2E tests for the past month. How common is this and is it valuable? /u/kurioses CSCQ protests reddit

I have almost 7 years of experience, on front end and back end. Working in an outsourcing company so this is something client wanted because they are in a release stage and wanted to “clean” some stuff up.

It was fine for me to pick up few tasks for the automated E2E tests, but now it’s been a month of working on them – setting the environment and working on very complex cases although I am not familiar with it nor the product itself.

Don’t get me wrong – I’ve learned a lot about product, about database and everything but it is not the main thing I wanna do and continue in the long term.

I said that of course and they said that’s only for this part of time when they are preparing work for new version.

Also, they have testers, but I am not sure why they don’t do it and I suspect they are mostly manual testers.

Aaaand I am not super happy in my company based on this and my salary, tried to talk to my boss, but didn’t get the pay increase for year and a half because “it is tough put there”.

Opinions and advice? I usually mess up in these situations and react aggressive but now I wanna take my time and do the right thing.
