## Speaker Details

## Chris Holder

Title: Testing Web Performance User-Flows
Desc: Users spend 90% of their time interacting with applications after they load, so why do we only test the initial load.
This talk will teach you how to set up performance regression tests to make sure your application is blazing fast, not only on initial load but also on user interaction.

Bio:
Christopher is a Full Stack Engineer at push-based.io. He does consulting and auditing on Angular applications to help companies optimize their application architecture and performance as an Open Source contributor he collaborates on projects that help make the web faster and speed regression by making testing performance easier and scalable.

## Younes Jaaidi

Title: Fake it till you Mock it
Desc:
No matter what tests you implement, sooner or later, you will eventually need "Test Doubles". But what is a "Test Double"? A jargon for saying "Mock" or more than that?
Although attractive, especially in the JS ecosystem, some "Test Doubles" can make our tests more expensive to maintain while harming their readability. They can also over-specify our tests and couple them to implementation details... even worse, they can end up discouraging us from implementing new tests, or even pushing us to get rid of some of them.
Oops. I don't have much room to tell you the rest here, but I'll see you at the Angular Athens to tell you how "Fakes" and their faithful companions "Object Mothers" and "Gloves" end up becoming the pillars of your testing strategy.

Bio:
Younes is a Software Cook born in eXtreme Programming, which made him a passionate advocate of Collective Ownership, TDD, and snacks in the office.
He trains and coaches teams like yours to cook better apps. He’s also an NX champion, an Angular GDE, and a mediocre sailor.
His favorite command is `sleep 300; git reset --hard; git clean -df`
