Because the product is built using coding practices that put testing upfront in the process.  This is supposed to accelerate deployment and maintain the quality of software products by allowing software developers engineers in test (SDETs) to build frameworks to verify the behavior defined by product owners and developed by software engineers.    So why is it that the more automated tests we build the more they fail, the more maintenance they have and ultimately creating noise in our quality metrics; reliability, maintainability, usability, security and so on:  Software engineers build software and are not particularly good at writing tests.  Product owners and manual testers do not read code they read natural language  The more the product evolves the more complex the testing framework the more likely the tests are going to require...
