Achieving Parallel Test Execution in Automation
Nikolay AdvolodkinParallel test execution is one of the most powerful ways to execute UI automation (which is known to be slow). Running tests in parallel provide us the capability to run 1000 automated tests in a single minute. Unfortunately, achieving this dream is not as simple as just running many tests at the same time and hoping for thread safety. The worst part is that many of us don’t even realize that we need a parallel test execution until our automation suite is too large. Sometimes years down the road. Our suite takes 8 hours to execute and it’s so painful. In this talk, I will teach the requirements to achieve parallelization with any automation. There are four key components that are required to run tests in parallel. I will tell you about these requirements, how you can achieve them, and how to enjoy a blissful state of parallel test execution.

Jest a Minute
Kent C DoddsI’ve been testing JavaScript for years and I’ve tried pretty much every automated testing tool available. When it comes to unit and integration tests, nothing has made me happier than Jest by Facebook. In this session, I’m going to demo some of my favorite features of Jest’s capabilities (including how you can use it to even run your Python tests)! I hope you enjoy the session and I look forward to answering your questions!

Design Patterns In Test Automation
Vinoth SelvarajDesign Patterns are well optimized, reusable solutions to general problems in software design. Most of the test automation fails in large projects due to poor design. The aim of this presentation to show some examples of Design Patterns to properly design Page Objects, Tests & Business workflows. The aim of this talk to show some real-world examples of frequently occurring problems in designing automated tests and page objects for business workflows & how to find a solution to these problems using Design Patterns to come up with better Page Objects/Tests & how it reduces overall test automation maintenance effort.
- 4:30 pm - 5:20 pm
Smart and stable automated testing using AI based Dynamic Locators
Raj SubramanianRaj will cover the basics of AI, discuss the current problems with UI based test automation, discuss with live demos how AI based Dynamic Locators help to make your tests more resilient to change and in turn helps in building smarter, stable and much faster tests. Finally, will cover the future of AI-based testing.

Future-Proofing Testers in the Age of AI, ML, and Bots
Eran KinsbrunerWe’re all hearing the buzzwords of AI, machine learning, chatbots, and next-generation testing. Does this mean that the days of traditional testing as we know and practice it are over? Eran Kinsbruner doesn’t think so. Join him to learn about the clear transformation happening toward smarter testing techniques and tools. These approaches will drive better pipeline efficiency and release velocity with high quality, and Eran thinks this means good things for the testing practice and practitioners. You’ll discover the key trends that are happening around AI, machine learning, and bots in the web and mobile landscapes, and get the ability to identify some early adopters who are taking the lead in these domains. Learn some key requirements and skills that are required for a test engineer to shift toward the future of automation, as well as the changes testers will need to undergo in order to become future leaders in this space.
- 11:00 am-11:50 am(EST)
Care and Feeding Of Cast Iron...And Automation
Paul GrizzaffiCreating maintainable automation doesn’t happen by accident, it must be deliberately built-in; we’ll discuss how to make automation maintainable and some of the external influences that challenge that maintainability.
- 12:30
Using IntelliJ to Create better Test Automation Code
Corina PipWe tend to write a lot of automation code, and for that we use an IDE. My favorite one is IntelliJ, and i will show why in this talk: from shortcuts that help organize and cleanup the code, to features that allow for some parts of the code to be generated automatically, there is so much goodness in this tool that can help us testers be more efficient when writing our code. If you’re already using the tool, after this talk you can get the most out of it. I will demo, on existing code, what shortcuts i use the most and why, and what other cool features i apply on my code to get it looking awesome.

Tips from the trenches: how we build and test AI @ Applitools
Adam CarmiAI is changing our world. It is being employed in all types of applications and increasingly impacts the way we build and test software. However, since it is relatively new, very little real-world experience and engineering wisdom are available to the dev & test community. In this talk, I’ll share practical development and testing tips from our years of experience building an AI-powered service. We will cover common approaches to implementing AI, and the applicability of each to solving different types of problems. We’ll explore the unique challenges involved with AI development and how they may lead to delivery delays or quality issues we should watch out for. We will share many practical tips on testing AI-based features, and explore areas where you can employ AI to be more productive at your job.

Taking care of your Test Code : A story on Coupling, Concepts and Communication
Ingmar GoudtTest Automation is requiring more software engineering skills lately. As a Test Automation Engineer, you want to structure your codebase correctly, in order to prevent a long-term mess. This talk will discuss code Coupling, thinking in Concepts, and Communication with your peers, and finally some Java libraries will be demonstrated.

Karate - MicroServices Test-Automation Made Simple
Peter ThomasKarate is popular open-source project for web-service API testing. Inspired by Cucumber – it combines BDD syntax with a DSL carefully crafted to deal with HTTP, Peter will walk through the features of Karate, and how it can be effectively used for testing web-service APIs. You get to hear straight from the creator of Karate the motivations for creating this framework in the first place, how it differs from the competition, and how it helps accelerate the development and quality-assurance of web-services of all kinds, be it REST, SOAP or GraphQL.

Stop using Page Objects and Start using App Actions
Gleb BahmutovWriting maintainable end-to-end tests is challenging. Often testers create another layer of indirection on top of the web page called page objects to execute common actions. In this presentation, I argue that page objects are a bad practice, and suggest dispatching actions directly to the application’s internal logic. This works great with a modern test runner like Cypress.io that runs the test code directly alongside the application’s code inside the browser.
