In addition to our talk on Thursday, June 12, we will have a special meeting on Friday June 13, with Qasim Rasheed presenting "Continuous Integration with SVN, ANT, CFUnit and Selenium". This will be a 30 minute preview of his CFUNited session of the same name, being offered live at the conference next week. The previews are designed to give users the chance to decide if they may want to see the presentation at the conference. It also gives the speaker a chance to run through the presentation before a real audience. But it will not be the complete presentation, just highlights.

Description: (provided by the speaker)

This session will be 30 minute preview of the speaker's talk (presented live at CFUnited) which will focus on demonstrating a setup where you can develop an integrated build system/process using freely available open source tools. Tools used in this session will include:

Eclipse ? Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
SVN ? source code repository
ANT ? build tool
CFUnit ? unit testing framework for ColdFusion
Selenium ? acceptance testing tool

Utilizing each of these tools, the presenter will pick an open source ColdFusion application and guide the audience thought the process of creating individual unit test to developing integration tests with Selenium. By the end of the session we will have a final ANT build file with these features

Checkout code from repository on to a testing server
Run unit tests and Selenium tests against this code base
If all tests are successful, the code is deployed to production server
Notification process will be setup to announce build success or failure

Again, remember, this is a preview. The speaker will not have time to present all aspects of the full session.

LOGGING IN: When you login to the Connect room (the experts.acrobat.com/cfmeetup link above) to view the meeting, PLEASE USE THE "LOGIN AS GUEST" option, and use your real name, but do NOT attempt to use your meetup.com username/password. The login screen presented there has no connection to meetup.com. And if you have a real Connect account, don't use that either. Just sign in as a guest. It's just not worth the time to try to track who RSVPs and add them manually as participants in each meeting. You have no fewer features as a guest as when you would login with your own account. Thanks.

Due to the length of the information above, I can't offer here the usual information on recordings, downloadable versions, RSVPing, adding this to your calendar, etc. See the information at the bottom of other meeting descriptions.
