Quotes & Insights from this Test Talk

• Hey, what's up? John Sonmez here from www.simpleprogrammer.com . I'm super excited to be a part of this Automation Guild online conference. It's a pretty cool idea! I gotta tell you, when Joe first told me that he was putting this on, and he invited me to be one of the keynote speakers, I was pretty excited! If you don't know, I have a background in test automation. I'm not going to be talking to you about test automation today, surprisingly; I'm going to be talking to you about some soft skills content. It's where I focus today, is on helping developers live better lives.
• Hello, everyone. I'm John Ferguson Smart. It's my great pleasure to be talking with you today as part of the Automation Guild Conference. I'll be showing you what I believe is a game-changing way of writing automated tests; one that I've seen used very successfully in many projects, to write more reliable, higher-quality, and more sustainable automated test scripts. The approach is called the screenplay pattern, and I'll be showing you how to make it a reality for your projects using Serenity BDD. No matter what framework you're using, I really do hope this talk will change the way you think about how to automate your tests. Without further ado, let's get started.
• Hi there! I'm Matt Wynne from Cucumber. Welcome to the Automation Guild conference. I'm coming to you from sunny Scotland today; that's where I live with my wife, two kids, couple of cats, and a dog, and sometimes some chickens. I'm the lead developer for Cucumber Ruby. Cucumber is a tool for running automated acceptance tests. It's perfect for facilitating behavior driven development, or BDD as we call it; which, in my view, is the best way to get value from test automation. Cucumber is also a company and we do training and consulting to companies all over the world, who want to be awesome at this stuff.
