Does your testing organization use Selenium? Do you want to know more about the Selenium ecosystem in Chicago?

We have good momentum from the last meetup so let's keep it going! The presenters are from Sauce Labs but these will be topical presentations.

Agenda:

• Networking

• Intro by Chicago Selenium Meetup Group organizer

• Automation Best Practices
Presented by: Leo Laskin, Customer Automation Specialist at Sauce Labs

Sauce Labs’ Automation Specialist and Selenium project contributor, Leo Laskin, discusses the value of open source in testing. He will also share his personal experience in moving from manual to automated testing, the lessons he has learned, and the steps he took to build a powerful, international test coding army.
The talk will also cover:

• The good, bad and ugly when writing and testing code through automation

• Challenges faced, including navigating around XPath and development best practices

• Popular, key automation practices attendees can use to build their own coding armies

• Speed Testing with Appium over Cross-Platform Native Mobile Solutions
Presented by: Harry Roberts, Senior Solutions Engineer at Sauce Labs

In this workshop, Harry will demonstrate how to best utilize Appium in its cross platform native mobile testing mode. Attendees will learn best practices surrounding mobile testing to fully achieve success and maximize their efficiency.

Foodz
Pizza, beer, and soda will be provided.

Call for "Papers"
We need a couple more topics and are also open to short lightning talks (5-10 minutes) to convey key information. This could be a problem you are having or showing off a problem you solved. So sign up by sending us a message!
