DAY & TIME: TBD
There are a common set of techniques that seasoned test automation practitioners know to be the pillars of any successful automated testing practice that can be fit into most (if not all) team contexts.
But some things have either been left out, or are described in ways that are disadvantageous for the industry simply because we don't talk about it from the perspective of the fundamentals used to craft them.
By reasoning from first principles, we will be able to unearth a more impactful definition of test automation that can act as a compass and help supercharge everyone's test automation practice - while also understanding how to navigate the uncharted waters of new technologies that challenge existing paradigms.

Anton Prokuda
DAY & TIME: TBD
Automated testing has been a crucial part of software development for many years, and with the increasing popularity of mobile apps, testing mobile apps has become a crucial part of the software testing process.
However, testing mobile apps comes with its own set of unique challenges, and testing on the iOS platform is no exception. That's where XCUITest comes in as Apple's native test automation library for iOS apps.
Since its release, XCUITest has quickly become the go-to solution for iOS app testing. According to Statista, as of 2021, there were over 1.96 million iOS apps available on the Apple App Store, with that number expected to increase to over 3 million by 2025.
With such a large number of apps, testing and ensuring their quality is crucial to the success of both the app and its developer.
DIRECTOR OF QA
Giannis Papadakis
Dionysis Tsoumas
DAY & TIME: TBD
In this talk, Dionysis & Giannis will share their own team's experiences.
Functional testing is not something that can inform in a timely manner for the uptime of our applications.
So there was a gap in our efforts related to observability and testing.
The DevOps team was passionate about their Grafana dashboards, and the QA team was occupied with their K6 performance suite.
We decided to collaborate and embark on a pet project that would enable us to achieve synthetic monitoring. leveraging K6 and Grafana LGTM stack.
CHIEF QUALITY OFFICER
Lee Barnes
TBD
DAY & TIME: TBD
Join us for a discussion with industry leaders on trends, technologies, and processes, in continuous automated and performance testing in DevOps.
This is a chance to deep-dive into some of the trends for transitioning or implementing continuous testing as part of software delivery, as well as exchange views on overcoming common obstacles in the field.
The panelists will share their unique approaches and many real-world experiences. These include some of the challenges their teams have had to face and the strategies that have led them to success.
TBD
TBD
DAY & TIME: TBD
As a testing team scales their testing strategy all the way up to the enterprise level for their organization, any number of bumps in the road can occur. It is perfectly normal that, as testing efforts expand, the growing testing “surface area” can become pockmarked with challenges.
Luckily, these challenges are quite common and can be efficiently addressed if properly equipped.
In this session, a panel of experts will give you the lay of the enterprise testing land and walk you through how to confront common issues with:
• API end-to-end testing periods
• Test data
• Web & mobile interfaces
• Multi-system coordinated testing periods
• And more!
Conducting enterprise-level testing is no small feat. This panel discussion will help you be prepared to face common challenges that inevitably arise so you can quickly get back to what matters most — ensuring a high-quality app!

“
I've enjoyed attending these conferences since the beginning. It's very informative. I learn about industries I haven't worked in yet, new tools, and I get to connect with others. Together, we have a wealth of knowledge! It's great to be able to share ideas. And I always look forward to using what I learned.
Annette S.
Test Automation Architect

The community is just amazing!
The conversations and interactions with both participants and other speakers are stellar!
Being an online conference, it still manages to feel "closer" than many in-person dittos.
Simon Aronsson
Head of Developer Relations
“
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!

Thanks a lot Joe (great presenter and well organized host) and all the other presenters for this great conference (Automation Guild 2022).
This was my first conference...and it was really an eye opener for anyone who wants to start/switch/enhance their career in automation testing.
I would say it's a "single knowledge hub for all testing needs".
Also, the best part is getting lifetime access to the private Slack channel where we can good knowledge sharing - throughout the year.

It was my first Automation Guild and it was spot on. The right balance of technical and non technical talks, all interesting and with great presenters.
It is this kind of conference that pokes my brain and triggers new ideas for the day to day activities that I really enjoy.
More than just great talks, the attendees (the guild) are aligned in helping each other by sharing ideas or building on what was just heard and learning new things, the interaction is really something that takes this conference to another level.
To repeat, I can say I'm an official member of the guild now!

Automation Guild is timely, practical, and community led.
