Build Better Software, Faster - With Lifetime Access To The most relevant topics covering the latest in functional & non-functional automation
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 motivation behind hosting Automation Guild every year - a community-driven online event dedicated to full pipeline automation testing.
An Online 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 to help you build better software - faster.
The goal is for you to discover the latest tools, best practices, real-world tips, actionable techniques, and proven strategies...so you can always stay on the forefront of this ever-changing industry.
The Automation Guild event is 100% laser-focused to help you:
✓ Achieve faster, better, and reliable automation
✓ Save time wasted on flaky tests
✓ Upgrade (and widen) Your skillset
✓ Open up more (and better) career opportunities
✓ Get paid a lot more
40 actionable video training (+ dedicated Q&A) sessions have been confirmed.
Here’s an overview of what you can expect to get:
➤ Key insights into tools and techniques of industry leaders
➤ Most effective automation strategies for 2022 (and the future)
➤ Latest automation trends and best practices
➤ Powerful tips & tricks for API, Design Patterns, and Accessibility testing
➤ The A-Z of automation frameworks (Appium, Cypress, etc.)
And a whole lot more!
Automation Guild was an amazing experience for me. It was a wealth of knowledge being shared. Everyone was supportive.
I definitely learned a lot and itshowed me a wide range of techniquesthat can be applied to make testing better.
One ofTHE best conferences I have attended.From the content to the community interaction - AMAZING!
Julia Pottinger
Training & Development Manager
Automation Guild istimely, 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 asa 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 Gain Instant Lifetime Access To 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 I really enjoyed the Automation Guild.
I really like that I got back into latest 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...

Here's What Attendees Say About Automation Guild
A must-attend event for all testing professionals.
You get all the best practices and innovative techniques in a concise manner.
George Ukkuru
Head of Quality Eng. UST
Thank you so much for creating the Automation Guild. I’m happy to have found a place that exists on the topic of test automation that doesn’t rely on test tools sites/blogs etc. Awesomeness!
Jaime Lizarazu
Senior Manager - Test Automation
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
I enjoyed the Automation Guild, made a stack of notes, then implemented nearly code-less automation in just 90 days!
Nick Baynham
Automation Architect
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!
Felix Lee
Test Lead
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 ;)
