Hi everyone,

Announcing this meetup to give you something to look forward to in the new year! Abstract

Tell me does this sound familiar to you?

"Test Code is not production quality code and we don't need to hire experts who know how to write code to do automation."

What about this:

"I don't have time to review your test code. It is not important, anything can go there."

"The automation is unreliable. We don't care that those tests are failing they are always failing."

Test code is often ignored second class citizen where it is quite commonly believed that anyone can write it.

At the next Belfast Selenium meetup, I will show you a few examples of what is going to happen if these beliefs will run unchallenged for too long. We will look at a few code examples and discuss how those projects performed.

About the speaker - Maciej Wyrodek

Even though he specializes in Test Automation, his first love was Manual Testing. He loves experimenting seeing new things and how they affect his world. In free time writing his blog thebrokentest.com (http://thebrokentest.com/). Where he aims to discuss different code smells in test automation. He also likes to share their various testing inspirations.
