Hello and welcome to another year of TestHeads events. After a brilliant 2019 where we had some fabulous speakers and topics - we are kicking off 2020 with a bang and are delighted for the first time to have 3 topics in one night.
In partnership with our friends at Workday who are kindly hosting and sponsoring this months event - we have the following talks:

1) Hold the Gherkin - a team’s journey to high performance with Behaviour Driven Development

This presentation focuses on one on team’s journey to high performance going back to basics with Behaviour Driven Development It outlines the many practices and improvements they implemented to achieve high performance focusing mainly on the introduction Behaviour Driven Development. While many teams embrace behavioural driven development they focus purely on the output, hung up on given, when, then and automation while forgetting about the key focus of BDD which is the behaviours of real life customers.

‘Hold the Gherkin’ is an insight into teams journey to high performance with Behavioural Driven Development how they stopped focusing on the output and then focused on the outcome. This presentation is based on real-life experience and how the teams change in behaviour led to happier customers and improved team spirit.

2) Visual Testing on Mobile with Vizzy

In this talk Raul will show how to configure and use Vizzy for visual testing (a.k.a. screenshot test) your mobile app.

You have your UI tests, and they verify that a button with the right text is on screen... but how do you check that the style is consistent, or that the padding hasn’t changed, or anything about the actual visual representation of the UI.
You can do it manually, but you can also automate it with Vizzy.

Raul Portales is a Software Engineer with a strong focus on product and quality. He switched from Symbian to Android in early 2009 (before Android versions had tasty names) and never looked back. He loves public speaking, and has presented at several DroidCons and Game Developer Conferences. After working a lot on front end – especially building games – Raul has developed a special interest in UX and UI. His current favourite topic is Playful Design. Raul was actively involved in Appsterdam and the DutchAUG. Since moving back to Dublin, he now collaborates with the Dublin GDG.
