Virtual Meetup: Exploring with Automation - James Thomas

Happy new year to all!

I know I promised an in person event, but....you know....stuff and all that. Fingers crossed it wont be long :)

In the meantime, that means that we can have a virtual during the day event, and we have a SPECTACTULAR session lined up. Take a look...

Exploring with Automation: James Thomas

When considering how automation can be useful in testing, many people think only about identifying difference from some expected behaviour, for example with unit tests.

Much of my testing is about exploration, about learning, about finding things that might matter that we haven't already thought about. In this talk, I'll discuss how I use automation to help me to do that. In particular I'll demo some ways in which I ask questions of the product and use automation to find expedient ways to get answers.

James Thomas is Vice President of the Association for Software Testing, a non-profit organisation dedicated to the advancement of the testing craft. Over the years he’s had many roles including developer, technical author, technical support, and manager, but the combination of intellectual, practical, and social challenges in testing are what really excite him. He's on Twitter as @qahiccupps and blogs at Hiccupps.
