Automating Web Tests w/Selenium 2.0 (WebDriver), SpecFlow, and more...
Details
Let's dig deeper into web automation tools. I have purchased a high-quality projector that has VGA and DVI input.
So, I invite you to bring any of your own web automation sample code you would like to demo.
As for me, I'll be prepared to present for 10 to 15 minutes on using the Selenium 2.0 API with C# in conjunction with SpecFlow and a "Page Objects" approach for doing automated acceptance testing against IE, FireFox, and Chrome.
I'll also be giving away two Pluralsight.com free one-month subscription card. To qualify, make sure you read over the two "Page Objects" presentations slideshare links below:
