Why go outside and enjoy the sun when you can come listen to two amazing talks about shifting test automation left and how this will empower your testing team.
Isolated Whole Frontend Testing with Playwright: Finding the Sweet Spot- Matt Russell
A dive into the space of automated frontend testing and how to get the best return on investment when writing tests. We’ll explore Isolated Whole-Frontend Tests using Playwright’s Component Testing feature- an alternative to unit and end-to-end tests that offers a compelling tradeoff. We’ll also look at practical tips and best practices for writing tests at all levels of the testing pyramid.
How do testers react when developers write the tests - Bryan Elder
In this interactive session, we will explore how developers owning test automation allows testers to concentrate on important quality work. However, automation is only one aspect; testers bring valuable skills in planning, risk analysis, and strategic thinking that cannot be scripted. I will conduct a hands-on exercise to show how testers complement automation. The goal is for developers to gain a better understanding of what great testing really means and how working with testers results in stronger and more thoughtful software quality. This is not just a talk; it’s a shared learning experience.
