Talk #1: Shaking Up the Testing Pyramid: The Rise of Modern End-to-End Testing Tools (Marc Mengler and Daniel Draper)
Traditional testing pyramids have had a good run, but itās time to question if unit tests should still hold the majority. With the advent of cutting-edge end-to-end testing tools like CypressJS, Playwright, and others, weāre seeing a shift in the landscape. Our meetup will kick off with a deep-dive into the advantages and limitations of the traditional testing pyramid. Weāll discuss why unit tests are valued, but also why they can sometimes leave us hanging when it comes to real-world scenarios.
Then, weāll switch gears and explore the brave new world of modern end-to-end testing. Weāll get up close and personal with tools like CypressJS and Playwright, making testing more reliable and reflective of user experiences. Weāll also tackle the challenges that come with these new tools ā after all, no testing approach is one-size-fits-all. Whether youāre a seasoned tester, a developer, or just someone whoās curious about the future of testing, weāre sure youāll find something of interest.
