Ministry Of Testing Kaunas - Spring 2020 #1

Welcome to the 1st meet-up of Ministry of Testing - Kaunas

AGENDA

18:25 - 18:30 Welcome Note

18:30 - 19:25 "Using machine learning to detect app failures from screenshot alone"
Vaidas Mačiulis, Lead Test Engineer, Devbridge
Current machine learning algorithms are great at telling whether there is a cat or a dog captured in the image.
Turns out similar techniques allows the computer to recognize if the application has failed by only looking at the screenshot.
I will show a simple experiment that every QA engineer can do at home, that will expand the possibilities of using AI for testing.

19:25- 19:45 Break + Snacks & Drinks + Networking

19:45 - 20:30 "Don't hate the cucumber, hate the salad"
Nikolaj Tolkačiov, Testing Practice Lead, Devbridge
The need for this presentation was born from all the hate for Gherkin, and how it is treated. I will pay a small tribute to that framework and its help in test automation rolling out by both more testers jumping on board and client’s education on what is UI test automation and how it works. I am not an advocate for gherkin and in the majority of the case I would choose non-gherkin framework, but when you end up with one there are ways to make it work. This presentation is about an outside the box approach for gherkin implementation by maximizing reusability and extracting gherkin related text to separate vocabularies to minimize gherkin's text presence in the code outside vocabularies, feature files and step definitions.

Language: Depending on the audience all the talks will be in Lithuanian or English.
