Abstract
Locus Energy's primary offering is a cloud platform providing automated monitoring and analytics for distributed energy generation systems with a focus on solar.

Daniel has written both API and Selenium testing frameworks for Locus Energy. This talk will cover the development of the Selenium framework from the ground up. The primary focus will be on technical details of the implementation, including specific workarounds and compromises made to get a useful framework integrated in a relatively short time. Daniel's hope for the talk is to give the audience a few new ideas about how to overcome common testing issues that affect new and mature frameworks alike.
