Build Better Software Faster - Armed With Key Functional (And Non-Functional) Insights, Best Practices, And Innovative Tips Based on Real-World Expertise
Ever felt like throwing your laptop across the room...or smash your keyboard due to the headaches caused and time wasted on flaky tests?
Automation testing can be frustrating, time-consuming, and seem too darn complex.
But it doesn't HAVE to be.
That's my main goal behind hosting Automation Guild every year - an event made by the testers...for the testers.
For each LIVE annual event, I invite some of the most highly qualified and experienced automation experts in the world.
And give them a platform to share key functional and non-functional insights with testers to help them build better software - faster.
Plus, share all the useful tools, proven strategies, and actionable techniques they’ve picked up...over several years spent in the testing trenches.
The Automation Guild event is 100% laser-focused to help testers:
✓ Achieve faster, better, and reliable automation
✓ Save time wasted on flaky tests
✓ Upgrade (and widen) their skillset
✓ Open up more (and better) career opportunities
✓ Get paid a lot more
Missed this year's 5-Day LIVE event?
Due to high demand, you can still reserve your lifetime access to Automation Guild 2021.

AG 2021 shared a wealth of knowledge. Everyone was supportive. I definitely learned a lot and the event showed me a wide range of techniques that can be applied to make testing better.
One of THE best conferences I have ever attended. From the content to the community interaction - AMAZING!
Julia Pottinger
Training & Development Manager

Automation Guild is timely, practical, and community led.
Unlike in other conferences, the talks favor demos and techniques over abstract philosophies and marketing.
I would highly recommend Automation Guild as a great way to learn new things and network with other testing professionals.
Nicole Van Der Hoeven
Developer Advocate (Perf. Testing)
But that's not all...
You'll Also Join Our 24/7 Active Slack Community of 2000+ Skilled Testers
I know that the majority of the time it feels like the managers just don't “get it” when it comes to the testing side of things.
With most testers reporting to different people, it’s natural to feel fractured from your community.
And for a lot of folks who are sole testers at their firm, it's even more lonely.
Look - you can always make your own mistakes and learn on our own…
But having a community to fall back on makes achieving your goals - much easier and a lot faster.
Because it provides a space for like-minded testers to learn from each other’s mistakes and shorten their learning curve - by months (or even years).
That’s why with Automation Guild, I built a community of testers - from beginners to advanced - ready and willing to genuinely help each other grow.
And that’s been one of the biggest game-changers for them.
Here's what industry veterans say about the Automation Guild community...
“
I've been doing testing automation for 21 years and this was my first time attending an Automation Guild Conference and I really enjoyed it.
I really like that I got back into industry trends. The conference was really well organized and there was a wide variety of applicable topics.
I'm also really enjoying the Slack community and the ability to communicate with test automation experts from all around the world, year-round.
Overall, I found that Automation Guild was really great and I have a lot of ideas that I can apply to my work.
Michelle Pleas
Principal Test Engineer
“
You think you know everything, and then you find our you really do know just a small part of the equation.
Having testers in the Slack channel giving ideas and pointers has helped me immensely in expanding my range of knowledge and acceptance of tools that can make the wheels turn even better.
Charlie Harris
Senior Quality Assurance Manager
Just like these testers, you can also leverage the Automation Guild community as a 24/7 resource for you to:
➤ Get constant feedback on what you’re currently working on
➤ Identify what technologies other companies are working with
➤ Network with experts from all over the world (year-round)
➤ Discover the most in-demand skills to focus on
➤ Find quick solutions to technical (and career-related) problems
So if you don’t want to waste any more of your time on flaky tests…
Or jump from forum to forum searching for answers…
Or sift through 10 different articles trying to find a solution…
And would like to create consistently better, faster, and reliable automation moving forward...
Join our Slack community now - when you reserve your lifetime access to Automation Guild 2021.

I joined the Automation Guild conference 4 times already. I always enjoy it.
You meet a lot of people who work in the same fields with you or related. And they give so many thoughts and brilliant ideas.
I feel very happy this time each year. And I'm always looking forward to see what we will have next year ;)

Although early in my automation career, Automation Guild provided me a plethora of information, resources, and education that was well worth the price of admission.
Mike Clark

I enjoyed the Automation Guild, made a stack of notes, then implemented nearly code-less automation in just 90 days!
Nick Baynham

4th year attending the Automation Guild conference and its value and content keeps getting better. Huge thanks to Joe for putting on such a great event.
Stuart Noble
Test Manager
“
As always, an awesome event! A superabundance of testing goodness.
Even before the conference had ended, the team was already chasing new ideas; refining existing practices and getting colleagues excited about new possibilities.
Validation of current practices and plans is always a tremendous win and Automation Guild weighs in massively in this regard.
Our plans are solid and aligned with those of our peers around the globe; the future is bright indeed!
What could be more awesome than that?
Mike Taber
Test Architect
“
I gained critical insights into the tools and techniques that industry practitioners use, the strategies that businesses consider when building an automation strategy, and the industry's latest automation trends.
I didn't expect an e-conference to be so well organized...and how welcoming the community that Joe and Team have built was. You also retain access to all conference materials even after the event.
Perhaps even more valuable is the opportunity to be part of an inclusive and supportive community of knowledgeable folks that you can tap into as a resource as you develop your career. Automation Guild sets the bar high!

Frequently asked questions
Lifetime access to Automation Guild 2021 can only be unlocked for a one-time investment of $277.
I understand $277 carries a different weight for testers from various countries and financial situations.
That’s why I suggest looking at this as an investment in yourself...and evaluate it from an ROI point of view.
Q #1 ⇨ Would getting lifetime access to practical and real-world knowledge of the world's top automation experts - help you get a higher salary and open up more (and better) opportunities?
Q #2 ⇨ Would 24/7 access to 2000+ skilled testers help you get quick solutions, avoid mistakes, save a ton of time, and enable you to reach your goals faster?
Q #3 ⇨ Simply put...would it give you back way more than your investment in AG 2021 - just like it has for all the testers in our community?
Asking yourself the above 3 questions will help you make the best decision for your current situation.
Besides...
I don’t want you worrying about losing your investment…
That’s why I also offer an unconditional 60-day "Love it or Leave it" 100% money-back guarantee.
And honestly, I don’t know of any other online conference in the world that gives 100% of the investment back.
One way is to consume all the sessions - as they happened LIVE - in chronological order.
But the most effective way is to watch them according to your current priorities, goals, and interests.
By prioritizing, you’ll see instantly favorable results for your most immediate needs.
Automation Guild is an industry-standard annual conference.
For each conference, I invite only the best and most qualified automation experts in the world.
And these experienced speakers freely give away…
Every actionable technique and key insight they’ve picked up after spending years (even decades) in the industry.
And share every time-consuming mistake they have learned lessons from - the hard way.
But not just that…
They also answer ALL questions (from beginners to advanced) of attending testers at the Roundtable “Ask Experts Anything” Sessions.
As a host and organizer of Automation Guild…
I believe the AG Conference is best consumed in its entirety for the most optimal learning experience.
Plus, this way it’s more viable since you’re able to get an extremely low per session rate.
