Part 3: practice what you preach when deploying Selenium 4.x </h3>

</div>
<div class="talk__description"><p>In 2017 I told you to care more about your infrastucture than your
scripts. In 2018 I showed you a framework to help you with it. This year the theory meets reality
and we actually deploy something.</p>
<p>On Stage.</p>
<p>Securely.</p>
<p>Entirely through code.</p>
<p>And while that runs in a window, we'll discuss what makes your automation infrastructure secure,
scalable and cost efficient.</p>
<p>This session will use Terraform and AWS, but the concepts are applicable to any cloud
deployment.</p>
<p>Note: You don't need to have seen Parts 1 and 2 to get value from this, just a desire not to be
the one responsible for a security breach or to cause your employer to have unnecessary
operating expenditure.</p></div>

Build an automation framework... with a developer mindset </h3>
<div class="badge badge--rounded" style="background-color: #000000; color: #ffffff">
Intermediate
</div>
<div class="talk__description"><p>Automation framework development is an acquired skill and can be
considered similar to
application development. The framework would greatly improve if the design principles used to
write application code are leveraged to build it. By leveraging the 4 pillars of Object Oriented
Programming in writing your automation framework, we can achieve the same level of efficiency
as your application. Here are a few quick examples:</p>
<ul>
<li>Abstraction - use of different browsers to enable the test case to be run on many different
system configurations.
</li>
<li>Encapsulation - use of page objects as a class.</li>
<li>Inheritance - keep common functionality in parent Page class and extend it for all other
child Page classes.
</li>
<li>Polymorphism - ability to change behavior at runtime</li>
</ul>

An engineer's code of ethics </h3>
<div class="badge badge--rounded" style="background-color: #3ec1d7; color: #ffffff">
Beginner
</div>
<div class="talk__description"><p>We should have a code of ethics in whatever we do because it allows us
to measure our decisions against our values. An engineer is first and foremost a human being, but
sometimes engineers ignore ethics and ship unethical features to users. With this talk I will
explain why people push unethical code into production and ways that we can prevent that from
happening.</p>
<p>Development does not exist in a vacuum. Society is the biggest system we can impact and
everything you do is a part of that system, good and bad. Ultimately we must judge the weight
and value of our work based on that impact.</p>
<p>Sometimes engineers ignore ethics and ship unethical features or outright products to users. With
this talk, I will answer some questions such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>What’s the code of ethics of an engineer?</li>
<li>Why many of the engineers that are working on products tend to not follow this code and push
“unethical” code to production?
</li>
<li>What are some examples of unethical features pushed to production?</li>
<li>What we can do as a community to persuade people to follow this code of ethics?</li>
</ul>
<p>I believe that we have a duty as people building products for people on the other end of the
screen, to build a product that they can love and trust. But we can only do that if we ourselves
are transparent and straightforward in the way we do so and the route we take to get there.</p>

Let's take baby steps to security testing : don't let those vulnerabilities choke your
application </h3>
<div class="badge badge--rounded" style="background-color: #3ec1d7; color: #ffffff">
Beginner
</div>
<div class="talk__description"><p>Security has become a necessity in our day-to-day activities. Are we
aware how we can uncover these vulnerabilities? Do we understand the basic security tests that we
run? Can we analyze and understand whether the threat found is a false positive or not? How can we
make Static Application Security Testing and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) work hand
in hand for our benefit? How can we have DAST Automated with our dear Selenium? How can we apply
DAST on Mobile Apps? How can we have DAST part of CI/CD pipeline?</p>
<p>This talk will introduce the audience to take their very own first steps in to Security Testing.
I will be introducing them to concepts and move forward on how they can achieve them with real
demos which will comprise of giving the audience an overview on certain OWASP vulnerabilities
with demos on them and then demos on Mobile DAST and Web Application DAST with Selenium and
Jenkins.</p>
<p>This will be a helpful talk for those who are interested to step into the world of security
testing.</p></div>

ability to catch issues sooner in addition to the following:
<ul>
<li>Technical aspects of implementing the tool</li>
<li>General pros and cons of using any automated accessibility testing tool</li>

<h4 class="talk__speaker__name">About Elizabeth Simister</h4>
<div class="talk__speaker__bio"><p>Ms. Simister is the current product accessibility manager at
Blackboard. She got her start in accessibility in 2004 in what is now the K. Lisa Yang and
Hock E. Tan Institute on Employment and Disability Institute at Cornell University. One of
her biggest responsibilities at that time was understanding how to take scanned journal
pages with lots of charts, graphs, tables, and math formulas and make them in accessible
PDFs. After Cornell, Ms. Simister spent a number of years working as a contractor helping
different organizations figure out what they needed to do to be accessible. She has been at
Blackboard for over two years and her primary focus is on working with the development teams
to get them to the point where all of our products are as accessible as possible.</p></div>

Next level of Front end testing with Devtools and WebDriver </h3>
<div class="badge badge--rounded" style="background-color: #3ec1d7; color: #ffffff">
Beginner
</div>
<div class="talk__description"><p>Chrome DevTools is one of the most useful web developer tools. It
allows you to get comprehensive information about the page and requests and emulate mobile browsers
on slow devices.</p>
<p>Some of the blockers which we faced with Webdriver was to automate</p>
<ul>
<li>Getting events from browser like when specific network call completed</li>
<li>Setting the fake geo-location from your WebDriver scripts</li>
<li>Updating the user-agent</li>
<li>Mocking the web response by intercepting the traffic</li>
<li>Simulating network bandwidth especially for Mobile Chrome</li>
</ul>
<p>As our team had built a good number of a test case with user-journeys it was hard for us to move
out of Webdriver and rewrite all our tests. So we decided to take the advantage of chrome dev
tools API which uses web socket communication and implements our selenium web driver test to
access all the API. </p>
<p>An outcome of Session:</p>
<p>We will demo about how you can use the power of DevTools in Selenium tests and how to make the
debugging more convenient.</p></div>

Treat test code as application code by linting </h3>
<div class="badge badge--rounded" style="background-color: #000000; color: #ffffff">
Intermediate
</div>
<div class="talk__description"><p>In my experience, test code does not get treated with high coding
standards as application code does, because as many people tend to say: "it's just for testing". As
testing is a critical part of the SDLC, why not?</p>
<p>By applying linting (static code analysis) tools to test code, preferably the same tools as for
application code, tests can be improved which can eventually lead to better maintainability,
readability and more robust tests.</p></div>

The automation break up: saying goodbye to full stack tests with task analysis </h3>
<div class="badge badge--rounded" style="background-color: #1533a0; color: #ffffff">
Advanced
</div>
<div class="talk__description"><p>Full stack UI driven tests are routinely criticised and shown to be
inefficient, wasteful and brittle. But what are the alternatives? How can we successfully move away
from full stack tests and develop valuable automated tests? We can achieve this by using our
knowledge of our systems along with task analysis techniques to identify opportunities to move away
from fill stack tests and towards smaller, focused, tests that are more maintainable, give better
feedback and are fast to run.</p>
<p>In this talk, I will introduce and demonstrate task analysis techniques that can help us break
down a system. We will identify the different technologies a system is comprised of, the actions
each technology carry out and their integration with other parts of the system. From there, we
will learn how these actions and integrations can have automated tests run against them using a
varied range of automation tools. Examples would include JavaScript unit tests for JS
components, Visual comparison tests for rendered HTML and API tests for contract changes between
services.</p>
<p>Through the demonstration of task analysis and range of tools, we will learn that by breaking
down a complex action, we can identify and create multiple targeted tests that when ran together
give us richer feedback and are more maintainable than a full stack test can.</p>
<p>By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Describe the task analysis process and its value when applied to complex systems</li>
<li>Break down a complex system using task analysis to identify specific system actions</li>
<li>Review specific system actions to help identify different automated testing activities</li>
<li>Produce automated tests that run against specific system actions that when combined give us
a wider view of our systems current state

UX !=UI: Testing UI and UX </h3>
<div class="badge badge--rounded" style="background-color: #000000; color: #ffffff">

<div class="talk__description"><p>Since many years and up until now! Testers have focused on
functionality, ensuring the applications are performing and working correctly per protocols. While
most companies are struggling with the transition into shorter release cycles and faster
deployments, the QA process itself considered as an afterthought.
</p>
<p>However, in today's digital era with so many competition having your application functionally
available is not the only requirement but also delivering apps that are pleasing and inclusive
to all the everyday users are a 'necessity'. The organizational strategy and especially testers
must examine the UI/UX aspect of their applications to deliver apps flawlessly that are
Pleasant(Usability), Visually perfect and Inclusive(Accessibility) to use.
</p>
<p>In this talk, Manoj will take us through his experience testing both UI and UX with practical
examples, the importance of User Experience and User Interface through Quality Engineering.
Also, how early the testing can start with various characteristics like Usability, Accessibility

40 countries, 35 brands, 1 test automation framework </h3>
<div class="badge badge--rounded" style="background-color: #000000; color: #ffffff">
Intermediate
</div>
<div class="talk__description"><p>How do you tackle test automation for an e-commerce platform spanning
48 different brands in so many countries? The project started with one country but was built
generically because all the brands worldwide would be onboarded in the upcoming years. New countries
can be set up very quickly, which is the main goal and the proven strength of the project. Our test
automation could not be the bottleneck in this rapidly expanding global ecommerce solution.</p>
<p>In order to avoid a lot of different frameworks/repos, we had to think of a way to make a
scalable and generic test automation framework. Key to success is a combination of proper
tooling (Cucumber, WebdriverIO), scalable set up/mindset and support within the project.</p>
<p>Currently, several brands are live and our framework has proven itself by its scalability,
accessibility. Setting up a second brand, which was the first real “test” for our framework,
mindset and way of working, was a matter of hours with some tweaking for minor brand specific
elements. The third country went even faster and we can now include new brands into the
framework on a daily base.</p></div>

The Pied Piper of Selenium </h3>
<div class="badge badge--rounded" style="background-color: #3ec1d7; color: #ffffff">
Beginner
</div>
<div class="talk__description"><p>Remember the legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin? He was known as the
Rat-catcher. He played an enticing song on his pipe and the rats followed him mesmerised by his
music. Who are the “rats” we want to control in Selenium? Mouse events and complex user
gestures.</p>
<p>Unfortunately the mouse is often deaf and unresponsive to the code we play.</p>
<p>All of us can become like the The Pied Piper of Selenium and get those "rats" to dance to our
tune.</p>
<p>Michelle will elaborate further on how we can achieve this and look at elementary mouse events
and element attributes. She will look at how actions and interactions differ across programming
languages, and in a variety of browsers and devices. Michelle will discuss the pros and cons of
learning more about Javascript, and how executing JS can result in less painful scrolling,
hovering and dragging. And a bit of chit-chat about using appropriate waits and sensible pauses
when coding your interactions. The moral of the story. Keep your promises. Make those mouse
simulations work.</p></div>

4-1-4: four ways how to communicate one thing to four different people! </h3>
<div class="badge badge--rounded" style="background-color: #3ec1d7; color: #ffffff">
Beginner
</div>
<div class="talk__description"><p>My first Stand Up as a Test Manager? Charlie slammed the door shouting
that he needs clear instructions. Lucas stood in a corner, terrified in silence. Kevin told me that
he will probably quit because it’s not fun anymore.</p>
<p><strong>Petra, do you want to succeed?</strong> Then you have to adjust your communication style
to the needs of your team.
<p>
<p>Does Charlie want instructions? I will always write clear emails explaining what went on at the
end of every meeting. Does Kevin want some creative challenge? He will get a new project. Will
Lucas feel more comfortable in private? I will plan a lunch with him.</p>
<p>There are 4 personalities in your team!</p>
<p><strong>1. Get to know yourself!</p></strong>
<p>In the first part I will introduce you to these 4 colours of energy and how to easily recognise
them. You will finally find out: a. What is your real value for a team? b. How do you behave in
a good mood or stressed out?</p>
<p><strong>2. Get to know your team!</p></strong>
<p>We will focus on topics: a. How to communicate change? b. How to give feedback? c. How to
motivate and which tasks to give to your team members? d. How to write a meeting invitation to
get all the people (personalities) on a meeting?</p>
<p>I have held some parts of this Speech at European conferences last year and someone approached me
every time with a big smile on their face screaming: 'Now I finally understand it, my team is
blue and I’m yellow.' or 'Aha, that’s why I can’t really get on the same page with my Business
Analyst.'</p>
<p>Prepare yourself, this will change your way of communication forever. At the end of my session,
be ready for a funny and interactive colourful call to action.</p></div>

Getting started with internal open source: navigating overwhelming organisational changes </h3>
<div class="badge badge--rounded" style="background-color: #000000; color: #ffffff">
Intermediate
</div>
<div class="talk__description"><p>When I first started as a tester at my current company over 7 years
ago my team was contributing code to a monolithic application. Soon after we started building our
first microservice(yay) and moving towards a service-oriented architecture. Then, in a what seemed
like the blink of an eye, we went from one microservice to hundreds of them. It was then that I
realised for the first time that the foundation of how the organisation worked was changing
drastically. As a tester I went from owning my component to owning my team’s components to now
owning all the components. We are no longer working in siloed teams but in squads across tribes in
an internal open source model.</p>
<p>So now what? How do you tackle all the changes? How has the tester role changed? What are the new
responsibilities and how do they fit in the overall picture? How do you work inside the squad,
with other squads and other tribes? How does a feature get into production, what does automation
look like? How about releasing and support or incident management?</p>
<p>Join me in this session where I will be sharing my personal experiences of recognising a pattern
when organisations are changing, navigating through them and adapting ways of working to the new
model. It’s about finding your voice and role in an ever changing world.</p></div>

Redefining test automation </h3>
<div class="badge badge--rounded" style="background-color: #3ec1d7; color: #ffffff">
Beginner
</div>
<div class="talk__description"><p>Test Automation, a term everyone in testing probably hears on a
regular basis, but what is it? If we listen to consultancies and tool vendors, it’s the holy grail.
If we listen to some gurus in the testing space it’s the current and future of testing. Others are
more conservative. However, I commonly hear people say Test Automation when they actually mean
Automated Testing, to be frank, they’ve become synonyms.</p>
<p>This confuses me. As a skilled tester I use automation and tools all the time, some I create,
some I download, but automated tests they are not. I’ve built automation to help my team create
data, I’ve built low tech dashboards and I’ve built tools to install my mobile app under test on
as many devices as I could connect to my computer. I’ve written tiny little scripts they saved
me hours on a weekly basis. All these tools provided a lot of value. I’m also built numerous
architectures to do automated checking, which just like my tools provided a lot of value. My
focus on all these occasions was my testing mission.</p>
<p>So, what is Test Automation? How can we succeed with it? What skills do we need to succeed with
it? Questions I’ve been pondering for the last four years, and I think I finally have some
answers. Not just answers though, I also have lots of actionable advice for you to take back to
work. This advice will be woven between real examples like those listed above, exploring why I
created them, the skills needed and how they helped me with my testing mission. To keep the
balance, I’ll also be included lots of stories where my automated approach has failed and how I
learnt from it.</p>
<p>Takeaways
<li>Models to take back to work to challenge your existing use of automation</li>
<li>A list of skills required to succeed with automation that you can to plan your learning</li>
<li>A list of techniques to spot opportunities for valuable automation in your context

browsers as part of their CI system, we run the whole testsuite over a dozen times a day to provide
a public dashboard for both those working on browsers and those more generally working on
standards.</p>
<p>Running such a large testsuite, we’ve inevitably run into many of problems web developers often
hit when writing tests using Selenium. We’ve often fought against flakiness (from our Python
code calling WebDriver, from JS code running in the browser, and from browser bugs causing them
to be inconsistent) as well as against browsers changing under us. They hope in this talk that
attendees will gain a good understanding of how we tackled these problems and be able to apply
them to their own tests.</p></div>

reminiscing on the Old Days, and reflect on something that at first doesn't appear to be related to
Selenium, yet is intimately related to it.</p></div>
