📢 Talks Description

// Detox: A year (and a half) in. Building it, Testing with it / Rotem Mizrachi-Meidan

A year and half in, developing and using Detox in production taught us, at Wix, a lot. From designing its API to consuming it, testing real user scenarios to advanced mocking, we learned what makes sense when E2E testing an app and what doesn’t.
In this talk, we’ll discuss how Detox works and what makes it deterministic, cover some advanced use cases and methodologies, go over new features and tease with the upcoming new ones.

// State Management Beyond the Libraries / Michel Weststrate

Many battles have been fought over what is the best way to do state management. A gazillion of strategies and libraries are out there. Let’s take a step back for a moment...

Why is state management relevant in the first place? What problems does it solve? For example, many debates are about mutability or immutability. I’ll suggest the more fundamental question to ask: identities or values? With these concepts in mind we will take a look at several libraries and frameworks and recognize the patterns. We will take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches. Finally, I’ll show that those concepts are even highly interchangeable with a PoC that will blow your mind.

My goal, is to enable you to reason about state on a far more fundamental level. Resulting in better system design and earlier recognition of bugs.
