Lightning Talks

---A series of short 15 minute talks---

--Auto-pocalypse: life after the death of manual testing - Presented by James Lake--

Summary: there is an increasing perception that manual testing is a dying art to be replaced by automation. But what are the practical implications for such an occurrence, and is it really going to be a Utopia after manual testing's death?

--“Expert Bug Hunters add value everywhere!” - Presented by Kim Nepata--

Summary: Production has gone down and the devs turn to you, the SME, to help them find the cause. What do you do? Quick how-to reminders on effective bug triaging and prioritisation so you can fully support your team during the development process and onwards.

--Why Selenium should be deprecated - Presented by Josh McCure--

Summary: Modern Software delivery in a continuous delivery mindset requires fast and consistent feedback on the quality of our software under test. Cypress.io is the first step in solving many inherent problems with dated test automation frameworks and techniques. We'll cover things including; 'bad developer experience', 'inconsistent feedback' and 'reducing the mean time to root cause' of defects.
