"The glitch in the game" by Sebastian Golasch

Hey folks,

we like to invite you to our monthly meetup at the trivago tower in Düsseldorf.

In May, we got one awesome talk:

Sebastian Golasch (@asciidisco (https://twitter.com/asciidisco)) will talk about "The glitch in the game".

Testing webpages is the inglorious bastard of our time. We tamed this beast called unit testing and got out unharmed of the maze of integration tests. But are we done yet? Is this all there is? Clearly not!

In this talk I will demo some more tools and techniques that will help you detect glitches, failures and weird behaviour of your pages and apps. It will answer questions web developers mostly avoid to ask:

• How can I automate image diffs to ensure visual consistency?
• How can I test my CSS cross browser?
• How can I monkey test my frontend?
• How can I ensure that my frontend performance stays consistent over time?

There is no such thing like a "silver bullet" that takes care of all of this, but a few tools exist, and now it is our turn to pick'em up and use them to fix the web!

Start is at 7pm.

The meetup is for free, beer is available (for free as well!) and we like to see you there :)
